Customer Reviews of Strange Days
Strange Days Indeed It is more than a little strange listening to "Strange Days" again 35 years after its release, recalling how exciting it was then. The Doors were not the only unique band with a unique sound, but it is hard to imagine any others of those whose music has proven so timeless.
This looks like but is not a concept album. The songs and the cover echo the theme suggested by the title and the title song, but musically and lyrically the album is not that cohesive. It is readily apparent that the songs were not written as part of a concept album, and the band lacked the discipline to make the album a masterpiece. The ponderous "When the Music's Over" suggests great seriousness, but it is the radio hit tunes -- especially "Love Me Two Times" -- which work best.
The Doors' sound even today evokes the mystery, hope, and despair we felt in the Sixties like few other artists. While other bands were playing music deeply derivative of rock and roll roots, the Doors were exploring new places.
"Strange Days" remains less stunning and more accessible than their more shocking debut self-titled LP, and both more daring and more accessible than the albums which followed. No lover of timeless rock music should be without it.
Sophomore effort proves Doors legacy in rock history
If you look at the copyrights on the songs, most of these were written about the same time as their debut album, The Doors. A casual fan might say that the later album had all the hits, but a true Door's purist will most definitely concede "Strange Days" as being close to perfection. Overall this album will mesmerize you with the dark, gloomy, and brilliant lyrics of Jim Morrison. Starting with the ethereal "Strange Days," Morrison's vocals shine on "Moonlight Drive," the minor hit "Love Me Two Times," and the eerie "You're Lost Little Girl", one of Ray Manzarek's favorites (See Disk 4 of The Doors Box Set). Not to be out gunned by "The End" on the previous album, "Strange Days" ends with the eleven-minute "When the Music's Over", the often featured closing song in many Doors live shows. If you even partially like the Doors debut album, "Strange Days" is a required follow up.
What Happened????
This is a dissappointing follow up indeed. About as dissapointing at the follow up to Katrina and the Waves follow up to thier monster hit debut. The Doors just released this one too soon I feel. The title cut is somewhat decent, but "You're lost little girl" had a good intro, but they used a key change where there shouldn't have been one, "Love Me 2x's" , and "People Are Strange" have been overplayed, so I know where they stand. "Moonlight Drive", and "Horse Lattitudes" pretty much save this album from being completely panned by me. "Horse Lattitudes" is probably one of the best poems ever written, but when surrounded by weaker material it's going to get lost in the shuffle. "When The Music's Over" lacks the power and potency of "The End", and "Unhappy Girl" is annoying with the circus organ. This was obviously a rush job.
