I know this album is from quite a while ago, but that really doesn't mean that it's outdated. In fact, it's miles better than the majority of the Top 40. Sorry, make that all of the Top 40 tracks.Whenever this album comes up on my iPod, I immediately have to start doing hair dancing. You know the kind I mean: head down, knees bent, swooshing your head back and forth so that your hair goes flying around your face. Almost all of the songs on this album use the typical blues structure, but the magic (and utter egoism) of Jim Morrison makes them all seem wholly different. For example, you compare Cars Hiss By My Window and then The WASP (Texas Radio and the Big Beat), and they both have totally different styles and moods. That makes me sounds really pretentious, but there is really no other way to describe them.
And how could you listen to Riders On The Storm and not love it? It begins with the sound of falling rain, and when Jim Morrison enters, there's a ghostly echo repeating every lyric after him. Every time I hear it I get shivers, because it's just so eerie.
Hope you enjoy this one, and I'll get back to you lot as soon as I can! xx
