Title: Sophomore effort proves Doors legacy in rock history
Review: If you look at the copyrights on the songs, most of these were written about the same time as their debut album, The Doors. A casual fan might say that the later album had all the hits, but a true Door's purist will most definitely concede "Strange Days" as being close to perfection. Overall this album will mesmerize you with the dark, gloomy, and brilliant lyrics of Jim Morrison. Starting with the ethereal "Strange Days," Morrison's vocals shine on "Moonlight Drive," the minor hit "Love Me Two Times," and the eerie "You're Lost Little Girl", one of Ray Manzarek's favorites (See Disk 4 of The Doors Box Set). Not to be out gunned by "The End" on the previous album, "Strange Days" ends with the eleven-minute "When the Music's Over", the often featured closing song in many Doors live shows. If you even partially like the Doors debut album, "Strange Days" is a required follow up.
