Title: Phat Parade and Soft Blues
Review: This is a masterpiece...that never was. I am sorry but the opener: Tell all the People, has got to be the most pretencious song on this album. It really goes beyond cheesy. Touch me, well now there is a song to match anything Sweat, Blood and Tears ever did. Actually, the entire Soft Parade struggles to be the Doors and at the same time Sweat, Blood and Tears. Why? It is obvious why Jim Morrison did not want his songs orchastrated..they would loose their raw sensuality. The songs that lack punch here are Robbie Kriegers. They inspire only a subtle muse. Shaman Blues and Wild Child, both by Morrison, clearly display the only direction in this shallow album. But it is not enough to carry the weight. The Soft Parade is weak..tell all the people.
Is the review positive or negative?
