The Doors - Strange Days

Reviewing every must hear #69

When it comes to the world of music, there are never two albums that are exactly alike. But sometimes, you find an album that is so far removed from everything else on the planet that once you finish the project, you just sit in awe of what you experienced.

But against all odds, this album blew me away because of one thing and one thing only, and that is the lyrics. In isolation, this album wouldn’t work, but the lyrics make everything fall into place. The sparse instrumentation and monotone delivery work incredibly well to let you focus ... read more
