HMV Review

The final album with Jim Morrison in the lineup is by far their most blues-oriented, and the singer's poetic ardor is undiminished, though his voice sounds increasingly worn and craggy on some numbers. Actually, some of the straight blues items sound kind of turgid, but that's more than made up for by several cuts that rate among their finest and most disturbing work. The seven-minute title track was a car-cruising classic that celebrated both the glamour and seediness of Los Angeles; the other long cut, the brooding, jazzy Riders on the Storm, was the group at its most melodic and ominous. It and the far bouncier Love Her Madly were hit singles, and The Changeling and L'America count as some of their better little-heeded album tracks. An uneven but worthy finale from the original quartet. ~ Richie Unterberger, Rovi

    プレスリー好きのモリスン、おそらく影響も受けていただろう。彼の深みのある歌声に乗ってビートニクの赤裸々でいくぶん血腥い自作の詩が流れるとそこはもう独壇場。Iは死に出の旅路。マンザレクの要領いい鍵盤演奏も魅力。初期の遮二無二先走る姿勢はなく傷ついた詩人の魂が正面から現実と対峙している味わい深い名作なのでこれしか聴かないという気持もよく理解できる。

    なぜか…ドアーズはこれしか聴かない…それはタイトル曲が凄まじく格好いいからさ!ボーカルとバックの危ういバランス…の初期もいいけど…突き抜けた一体感が最高!でも…ドアーズのimageとはちがうのかな…
