iTunes Review
The Doors' success hardly encouraged them to abandon their try-anything ethos. And while Waiting for the Sun, their third album, was the first not to feature a 10-minute-plus epic, it nonetheless was redolent of adventure. Sun, though more compact, still felt (and feels) like a major statement. Jim Morrison's political bent is at its most explicit, though like his L.A.-rock peer Arthur Lee, he questions both the prosecution of the Vietnam War ("The Unknown Soldier") and the hippie ethos ("Five to One," with its sneer at San Francisco panhandlers "tradin' (their) hours for a handful of dimes"). The band pushes forward with treks into bouncy pop ("Hello, I Love You," "We Could Be So Good Together"), ever-hardening rock ("Five to One") and a range of pieces ("Spanish Caravan," "Yes, the River Knows") that show off a command of moods that few mainstream bands of the era possessed. The Doors, it turned out, had proved only the beginning of their moment.
Customer Reviews
To Clear Up A Matter
Much has been said about "Waiting For the Sun" as an album that lacks the psychic power of the first two Doors albums; the lyrics are not as haunting, the music not as intricate, etc. I believe not enough has been said about the album as its own statement of art, not to be compared to what has been done before it by the band. I'll elucidate a few examples. "Hello, I Love You": a # 1 hit, hard to say much about. True to its poetry yet straightfoward enough to be enduring. "Love Street": A tender ballad of being infatuated by what things and people seem to be, a realistic look at human perception: to take what one sees and apply it as an absolute. "Wintertime Love": A waltz for God's sake! A pop song in 3/4 time with harpsicord as the primary instrument. A poignant, brilliant track overlooked often. Once again, keyboardist Ray Manzarek shines exhuberantly. "The Unknown Soldier": Policital, theatrical, provocative. Not much else to it. Great material for the road. "Spanish Caravan": Showcases guitarist Robbie Krieger's chops. Whimsical and adventurous track. How many songs by #1 selling bands evoke images of gypsies and gold? "Yes, the River Knows": plaintive lyrical of a love phasing out. John Densmore's gentle drumming makes the song too heartbreaking to be a lounge act, but exemplifies the Doors' ability to transcend muscial boundring. "Five to One": An anti-anthem for the disenfranchised children of the Summer of Love. An introspective view into Morrison's chaotic countenance. Soaring calls at the end to "Get together one more time!". True to the Dionysian revelry. Bonus takes are incredible. Originally Jim wanted to release the album with "Celebration of the Lizard" but a poetic oration just would not do for commercial appeal. Tomaso Albinoni's Adagio was one of Morrison's favorite pieces. The band samples/covers it on "Feast of Friends" off of "An American Prayer" while Jim contemplates death. I hope this review has shed some light on the album for the discriminating Doors fan. If you are new to the band, start with the self-titled, then see if you want to hear and experience the transformations of a truly unique and gifted band. Thanks for reading.
not the album you remember
These 40th Anniversary Mixes should have big warnings on them that say THIS IS NOT THE ALBUM YOU KNOW AND LOVE. However, the bonus tracks are well worth having, so two stars.
Awesome Album
The sound quality is great. The highlights of this album are: Hello I love You, Not To Touch The Earth, Five To One, The Unknown Soldier and Celebration of the Lizard.
