The End The Doors exploded onto the music scene in 1967 with their epic debut album, introducing the world to their blending of rock, blues, classical, jazz and poetry. Highlighted by some of the band's most loved singles including: "Break On Through (To The Other Side)", "Light My Fire" and "The End." This album is a rock classic. This is the one that introduced The Doors, and the gifted poet/singer/songwriter Jim Morrison, their enigmatic lead singer, to the world. At the time, it was like nothing anybody had ever heard, and to this day their sound remains unique. There have been many imitators over the years, but none have come close to achieving that special quality of sound that began here, with "The Doors." This is the first of the seven albums made by The Doors (six studio, one live), during their all too brief career, which began in the summer of 1965 and ended on July 3, 1971 with the death of Jim Morrison. If you've never experienced The Doors, it's time to start; do it with this album. To the casual fan, I suggest you take a step back and really listen this time, you may have missed something the first time around. The music of The Doors is timeless, and once it grabs hold of you, it's never going to let you go. -reviewer This is an album whose melodicism and dynamic tension would never be equalled by the band again.
