Title: A sound that has not fallen down
Review: 4 1/2Undoubtedly one of the all-time classic rock debut albums, The Doors '67 self-titled release set the bar for their own specially formulated psychedelic blues awfully high, a level they were allowed to reach again, though arguably never surpass. Although I would be lying if I said all the songs hit me like the greatest ones do (maybe it would have also benefited from a different sequence) and also I'd be lying if I said I have not drained most of the emotional truths from their best work long ago, but after all the subjectivity, what is really not to like here? Rare is the album where each song can stand as a microcosm of it's brilliance- be it the longer, literate jams I personally gravitated towards or the more traditional verse-chorus keyboard driven bluesy numbers which in itself stood far apart from comparative kind. Credit Manzarek and company for ushering in a radio-ready rock synergy that has stood the tests of time like such few bands have.
Is the review positive or negative?
