29 - The Doors - L.A. Woman (1971)

Not even a full month in and we've got a band repetition, and it's a band i didn't like before, so...

Wait, actually, i kinda like two of the songs on this album. Fingers crossed.

•The Changeling-

The keyboard is back and they have it set to something other than "clown rock"! In fact, it actually kinda kicks some ass here.

Jim's kinda singing like Tom Waits on this one.

"But I've never been so broke i couldn't leave town." So... Not broke, then? Or maybe moving didn't cost so goddamn much back in the day?

All in all, meh.

•Love Her Madly-

The anthem of the Wife Guy, and one of the few Doors songs i genuinely liked before this musical odyssey.

And you bet i love her when she's walking out the door, because when that happens, i often get to see a nice booty as she goes.

Also, I'm fairly certain that she's gonna walk *back in* the door again, because that's generally how doors (and healthy relationships) work.

•Been down so Long-

TOM WAITS RETURNS! to sing about how he should be released from prison so he can go and get his dick sucked.

Honestly had me in the first half, but then the second half starts and I've begun rolling my eyes so hard that i can check out *my own* ass at this point.

•Cars Hiss by My Window-

I like the first lines. Very evocative.

Then the next lines instantly reminds me *why* Jim was so worried about women walking out on him.

Why was it so hard to just... *not* fuck everyone around you at all times, man?

I feel like if Jim Morrison ever did even one second's worth of introspection, he'd have written a song called "I'm the cause of all of my problems".

Shame he died not long after this album released and never got the chance.

•L.A. Woman-

This song is legitimately really good. Everybody's nicely working together musically, the lyrics are not immediately problematic as hell, and even the needless Mr Mojo Rising bridge can't bring it down.

A bit long but it's The Doors, so i was expecting that, and at least this one keeps it moving and doesn't drag on for two full minutes of random noises like The End did.

•L'America-

Cool guitar work in the intro. With the keys coming in, it sounds nice and creepy. Sinister.

Garbage lyrics, though i like the misdirection in the middle.

Okay wait, what the fuck is the tone of this song supposed to be? It's all over the place.

•Hyacinth House-

"I need new friends!" No, you need *better* friends.

•Crawling King Snake-

Kinda bluesy, but there's a heavy vibe of: "The snake is my dick, get it? Do you get it? DO YOU GET IT?!

PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THE SNAKE IS REFERRING TO MY HOG. I NEED YOU TO UNDERSTAND THIS."

•The Wasp (Texas Radio and the Big Beat)

I don't care if it was '71, by then you should have known that "negroes" isn't fuckin cool to say.

It's even less cool to a modern ear, and everything else is mostly rambly talk-singing trying to sound clever.

•Riders on the Storm-

I love *the music* in this song, and the storm noises throughout are a great touch.

But, as usual for Morrison, the lyrics are the kind of quasi-insightful, rhyming dictionary-ass nonsense that only feel deep if you're so baked that "getting off of a couch" is a Sisyphean task.

Overall, i liked it better than the debut, but that isn't saying much. Still not a Doors fan.

Favorite Track: Love Her Madly. It just makes me think of my wife, because it me for real for real.

Least Favorite Track: a tie between The Wasp and Crawling King Snake.

Casual racism vs "4 more minutes about Jim's dick". Both lose.
