I've heard and owned a few Doors albums, but not this one. This... is definitely a Doors album, perhaps the Doors album. If you like the Doors, this is everything you like about them. If you dislike the Doors, this is everything you dislike about them. Basic blues riffs and structures punctuated by psychedelic keyboard lines. Jim Morrison's stentorian voice and cryptic, moody, hyper-masculine, want-to-be-deep lyrics. There's nothing here as experimental or as accessible as on L.A. Woman, but it's not really bad, either. It's angry blues rock, man. Favorite tracks: "Peace Frog" stands out musically, and "Land Ho!" is Morrison's take on a rough sea shanty.
