HMV Review

The most uneven studio album recorded with Jim Morrison in the group, partially because their experiments with brass and strings on about half the tracks weren't entirely successful. More to the point, though, this was their weakest overall set of material, low lights including filler like Do It and Runnin' Blue, a strange bluegrass-soul blend that was a small hit. On the other hand, about half the record is quite good, especially the huge hit Touch Me (their most successful integration of orchestration), the vicious hard rock riffs of Wild Child, the overlooked Shaman's Blues, and the lengthy title track, a multi-part suite that was one of the band's best attempts to mix rock with poetry. Tell All the People and Wishful Sinful, both penned by Robbie Krieger, were uncharacteristically wistful tunes that became small hits. ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide

    毒の無いドアーズ。なんかムード歌謡のようで気色悪い。新しいことに挑戦したかったのだろうが、これはちょっと...。ドアーズというバンドがやる必要のある音楽、方向性であるのか疑問。６９年のマイアミ公演でのジム・モリスンは「タッチ・ミー」の途中で突如怒り狂い、歌うのをやめ、放送禁止用語を叫ぶが、これがジム・モリスンの本心だったのだろう。

    アダルトポップス風アレンジがなされていて案外モリスンのヴォーカルがマッチしている。彼の声が在るだけで胸に響くものあり。彼のＨＥＡＲＴは詩を語り、口は稀有なるＨＩＳ ＳＴＯＲＹを語るのだった...。ランボーのような詩星になりたかった三十数年前の青年よいまはただ安らかに眠り給え。

    どうも、このアルバムを評価する人がいないので、アピールさせてもらいます。私はこれがDOORSの最高傑作だと断言します。特にタイトル曲は、アバンギャルドポップの極地です。一つとして同じバースでの繰り返しがないのに、覚え易くカッコイイ。これぞDOORSでなくしては出来ない名曲なのです。ファーストのイメージのままでいると、BANDとしての可能性を見失ってしまいます。
