Album and Book Reviews: The Doors - Waiting for the Sun, Plus More New Albums and a Springsteen Bio
The original Doors released six studio LPs and one concert album during their brief existence, and all of them reached the top 10 in Billboard. As the liner notes on this 50th anniversary deluxe edition of Waiting for the Sun reminds us, however, it is the only one of their albums that made it all the way to the top of the charts. That doesn’t make it their best release—some of Jim Morrison’s vocals are actually below par here, as are a few of the compositions. Still, there’s a lot to like on this third Doors LP, and it’s not difficult to see why it did so well commercially.
