THE DOORS

Release Year: 2009
Artist Origin: USA
Style: fundamental epic trippy psychedelic rock

fifth magnificent album [1970] in four years throws off complex conundrums, stripping away some of the psychedelia and the orchestral ambitions of earlier releases, reaffirming the essential blues roots and returning the visionary band to a critical favor this way: the cathartic opener Roadhouse Blues is elemental and hard driving, further unfolding through a succession of songs, showcasing all the group members' considerable strengths; distinctively tight instrumental playing underscores highly memorable material, while Jim's haunting authoritative vocals range from the demonstrative to the evocative and melancholic; European gatefold sleeve black 180g vinyl edition comes with a sound mastering directly from original stereo mixes
