4.0 out of 5 stars The music is about to begin..., January 8, 2003

This review is from: The Doors Original Soundtrack Recording (Audio CD)

Great soundtrack to a good movie. This really serves as a basic "best of" with a few extra's. Half of this is the big songs you would expect, but what I like is the inclusion of "love street", and 3 tracks from the "American Prayer" album: "ghost song", "stoned immaculate", and "the severed garden". Plus you have the Velvet Underground track "heroin", and Carmina Burana. Also a cool little clip from the movie starts it all off. Why this is an import now I don't know. I guess all the Doors hype of the early 90's is long past. It was fun while it lasted. At least we'll always have the music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Serves as a nice "best-of" collection, January 23, 2006

This review is from: The Doors Original Soundtrack Recording (Audio CD)

Don't be fooled - basically if you pay the extra fee for this imported CD you're not getting exclusive film content. It's not Val Kilmer singing the songs or anything. It's just music from The Doors' CDs - and for around the same price, you can get the best Doors compilation out there - "The Best of the Doors."

However, this still serves as a nice little collection of Doors tracks, and also includes three "songs" from Morrison's American Prayer (which is basically poetry that was recorded prior to his death, that the remaining bandmembers put music to and sold as a Doors album).

All in all, don't go out of your way to get this unless you're a completist, because all the stuff is available on other albums. But it's still very good just in terms of being a compilation.

4.0 out of 5 stars Doors' Classics!, July 19, 2001

This review is from: The Doors Original Soundtrack Recording (Audio CD)

This is the original soundtrack out of the doors movie. It features many of their classic songs, nothing you haven't already heard. Also, includes a song from the Velvet Underground "Heroin", and "Carmina Burana" performed by the Atlanta Symphony. As well with a few of Jim Morrison's spoken poems.

I think this album will be a good addition to any rock n' roll collection and a pretty good introduction of the doors, for those out there who aren't too familiar with their work.
