The first Doors album was an important development in the evolution of rock, representing the dark underbelly of the `60s counterculture, the Jekyll to the Beatles/Beach Boys` Hyde. The Doors were the antithesis of windblown Californian pop. Dark, brooding and alienated, every element of the quartet`s metier was unveiled on their debut album. In Jim Morrison they posessed one of rock`s authoritative voices, while the group`s dense instrumental prowess reflected his lyrical mystery. Highly literate, they wedded Oedipian tragedy with counter-culture nihlism and, in "Light My Fire", expressed exotic images previously unheard in pop. Howlin` Wolf, Brecht and Weill are acknowledged as musical reference points, a conflict between the physical and cerebral that give THE DOORS its undiluted tension. Or you can just enjoy it as a brilliant album that sucks you in as it breathes out the `60`s.
