The first Doors album called The Doors is a groundbreaking,psychologically thrilling look at the sensual world of the West, eerie and haunting it challenges the listener to think,to do,to join the party. Although Jim Morrison was experimenting with LSD this album is brave and provides a look in to a brave new existential world,where LSD groups like The Grateful Dead and the Jefferson Airplane where playing out there LSD adventures, Morrison and The Doors where moving past the influence of the drug in to the intellectual garden it provided.Break on Through was so potent a song it kept many of us up for days on end,it's message an invitation to eternity and a look at another way of living. The Doors slayed me with Alabama Song,Whiskey Bar, it solidified the old classic with a new more pronounced vision of the old,sepia version. Some of my friends didn't get the calliope organ and the all knowing voice but the ones that did moved on and embraced the music for ever and ever. The End is the culmination of the ceremony that the album truly was, The End was an anthem bellowed from another world,mystery and not knowing, personal yet embracing each listener with intellectual thoughts,conjuring images from empires past,deep in to the abyss. This album reverberates through time and space,chronicled in movies and any fan of rock music. I'm not sure any music recording will ever approach the Doors first album, it's a stand alone piece and a testament to existential thought and ideas of what can be.
