After the first two psychedelic stampede albums in 1967, Jim Co. pushed the brake and slowed the things down. contains many slow and "easy" tracks.
Some of them can be called "psychedelic pop ballads", like "Love Street", "Summer's Almost Gone", "Wintertime Love" and "Yes, the of Frank Sinatra as well as of Elvis Presley, regarding singing styles). On the other side, "Not to Touch the Earth", "Unknown Soldier" and "Five to One" are wild, bluesy, heavy psyche songs presenting Morrison's less sane personality and strong, spiky lyrics. classical acoustic guitar extravaganza of "Spanish Caravan".
The big hit "Hello, I Love You" is a childish pop song, the one I usually skip when playing. "Waiting For the Sun" is not easily acceptable album, despite its "easy" feel. It is not catchy or captivating on the first listen, unlike their other more blues-rock structured works that follow the usual rock 'n' roll norm.
Even for fans, it will take some time to earn appreciation. It is very unusual album even for the revolutionary, psychedelic standards of the year 1968. Often neglected in light of being recorded after the masterpiece "Strange Posted Friday, January 05, 2007, 04:31 EST |
and "Yes, The River Knows" (pretty average ones).
My personal favourites here are "My Wild Love"(gospel!!!
), "Five to One"(DOORS at their best!), "Spanish Caravan"(excellent guitars!) and "Summer's almost gone"(nice ballad).
"Wintertime Love", a waltz, should be less band can be good (check "Not to touch the Earth", what a hypnotic one!).Funny the modern bands.
Not my personal favourite from them - 3,5 stars actually - but a Must- Posted Tuesday, January 02, 2007, 09:33 EST |
My favourite Doors album. There is no epic here, but all the melodies on this album are great. It's a strange history with this record.
There is no title track here ment to be. But, all in all it's a geniuos album. Starts good with Hello, I Love You, then there's beautiful Love Street.
Third track is Not To Touch The Earth. My favourite Doors track. Psychodelic atmosphere, great music and one of the best Morrison lyricis.
So dark and hypnotic this one is...
Ok, enough about that. Here we are with Summer's Almost Gone. I don't know what to write here.
.. Such beautiflu melody, such wonderful lyrics.
.. You know what, I will not review this track by track, because every one of them is great.
