This review is from: Waiting for the Sun (Vinyl)
WAITING FOR THE SUN might be evidence that Jim Morrison was either a tapped-out lyric writer ("Not To Touch The Earth" and "Summer's Almost Gone") or just totally stoned out of his mind ("The Celebration Of The Lizard" poetry). But then, we see flashes of the sort of brilliance that permeated the DOORS' first two albums-- tracks like "The Unknown Soldier" and "Five To One" stand up against any that this band ever recorded.Musically, WAITING FOR THE SUN often sounds tremendously dated-- perhaps it was outmoded even in 1968. Fuzz guitar and calliope-like organ are everywhere-- there's waltzes ("Wintertime Love") and schmaltzes ("Love Street") and all sorts of filler. A pattern of inconsistency established here followed the group right through to L.A. WOMAN. The DOORS were a band that the "Best Of" compilation was ideal for. Like THE SOFT PARADE and MORRISON HOTEL, WAITING FOR THE SUN is only for their most devoted fans and perhaps '60s rock completists. CONTENTS-- SIDE ONE: [2:14] Hello, I Love You [2:53] Love Street [3:56] Not to Touch the Earth [3:22] Summer's Almost Gone [1:54] Wintertime Love [3:25] The Unknown Soldier SIDE TWO: [3:03] Spanish Caravan [3:01] My Wild Love [2:26] We Could Be So Good Together [2:36] Yes, the River Knows [4:26] Five to One TOTAL RUNNING TIME -- 33:08 |
