iTunes Review

The Doors were Sunset Strip legends almost before they signed with Elektra, becoming the label's first superstar rock act with the success of this debut. Sullen beyond imagination, particularly by 1967 standards, they married the thrill of jazz-inflected bar-band music to questing psychedelic visions - not all of them Jim Morrison's. (Guitarist Robbie Krieger wrote the baroque lyric to "Light My Fire.") Claiming the mantle of poet and "erotic politician," singer Morrison was the most libidinous of rock stars. The liquid sonics of Krieger and keyboardist Ray Manzarek made it all that much more tempting. While The Doors is famous for its epic-length Oedipal closer, "The End," it's matched or bettered for strength of full-moon prowling by "Twentieth Century Fox," "Soul Kitchen," Willie Dixon's "Back Door Man," and Kurt Weill's "Alabama Song."

Customer Reviews

This is the end?

Itunes has cut out a large part of the greatness of this album. The 11 minutes of "The End" are some of the Doors finest work. They cut off this great song from the end of the album and then offer a six and a half, censored version instead. Ridiculous. Anyway the album is still incredible, for a little more effort and a few dollars you can go out and buy the full album, which I would reccomend doing over this twisted abomination.

It's been 40 years (just seems like yesterday), but the original "The Doors" album is still part of my mind, heart and soul. I was a 14 year old kid who had to listen to my sisters' Beatles mania for the past 3 years back then. All of a sudden, in the summer of '67 I first heard "Light My Fire" on WLS in Chicago. And this was the short radio version! What a sound, what a blending of vocal and instruments never heard before anywhere. God! When I actually heard the long version, I was mesmerized. They say the Beatles were the revolution in music (I actually did like them), but just realize in 1967 not only did we have the Doors album, but Jefferson Airplane, Cream, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix ALL come out at the same time! THAT was THE revolution in music. There was never anything as monumental in changing the music culture in the world back then, or will there ever be. Of those, I still have deepest, most connected memories of listening to the Doors. Maybe it was my impressionable youth. But maybe not. Because now at 54 years of age, I can hardly wait to download "Light My Fire" (long version, of course) to my iPod and listen to it like it was the first time. That should tell you how much of an impact this group, this album, this once in a lifetime sound made on me and millions of other young souls. Okay so we have to listen to it in our comfy Barcoloungers - we still love it!!!

The Doors

One of if not the best album ever, no one can hope to come close to toping Jims trippy poetry. Theres nothing better than listining to The Doors on "one of those nights". Would have liked to hear the oediple part of "The End", kill the father / F^ck the mother, you dont censor art. PEACE
