he opening song "BREAK ON THROUGH" gives the album a powerful start to a psychedelic trip that leads you to "THE END" with so many less regarded gems outside of the big three such as 20TH CENTURY FOX, CRYSTAL SHIP, SOUL KITCHEN, THE ALABAMA SONG. If you were to silence the vocal track on the album, the instruments would still stand out and be distinct, especially RAY MANZAREK playing on the keys. Often, JIM MORRISON is the most cited member of THE DOORS because he was just so charismatic that he stood out and I feel gave rock the larger than life image that it carried for years but he isn't without help. You had RAY MANZAREK on keys of course, ROBERT KRIEGER on guitar, and JOHN DENSMORE on drums. As talented as they all are, I don't think they would have made it anywhere without JIM MORRISON and JIM MORRISON wouldn't have made it anywhere without them.

This album serves as a true testament to the legacy of THE DOORS and the rock genre. In 100 years from now, people will listen to this album dreading the fact that they didn't exist in the same era as THE DOORS.

BREAK ON THROUGH


LIGHT MY FIRE


One of the toughest things in writing about this album is that it is 52 years old. It has been reviewed, examined, criticized, and nearly everything. Therefore, I advise that you just simply listen to the album if you have not. For those of you that have listened or even existed in that era, you can go on having the confidence that to a terrible article writing 90's child, your music still holds up.

ALABAMA SONG


TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX


If anything, I hope that these ACID FLASHBACK segments serve as a reminder to those from the era that their music has made such an impact on society and culture, so much so that it will live on forever. This album in particular was chosen by THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS in 2015 to be included in the NATIONAL RECORDING REGISTRY due to its cultural, artistic, and historical significance. It is just that imperative that this music is reported on every so often, not only as a reminder to past generations but as an introduction of the music to a new generation of fans. We can not allow any fraction of a chance that this music will be forgotten.

http://www.rockwired.com/CapitalH.jpgello my name is Jeremy. I'm a Virgo and like long walks on the beach. I also have a tendency to be very crazy, you could say insane. You know, restrained by a straight jacket with a muzzle on my face but isn't that what ROCK N ROLL is about? Going fucking crazy and having a good time despite what others may think or even creating revolutions? This is why Rock N Roll best sums up my life. If that bothers you then please feel free to write it down on a piece of paper, fold it up real nice, and shove it up your ass!"
