Many of the songs on Strange Days had been written around
the same time as the ones that appeared on The Doors, and with hindsight one
has the sense that the best of the batch had already been cherry-picked for the
debut album. For that reason, the band's second effort isn't as consistently
stunning as their debut, though overall it's a very successful continuation of
the themes of their classic album. Besides the hit "Strange Days,"
highlights included the funky "Moonlight Drive," the eerie
"You're Lost Little Girl," and the jerkily rhythmic "Love Me Two
Times," which gave the band a small chart single. "My Eyes Have Seen
You" and "I Can't See Your Face in My Mind" are minor but
pleasing entries in the group's repertoire that share a subdued Eastern psychedelic
air. The 11-minute "When the Music's Over" would often be featured as
a live showstopper, yet it also illustrated their tendency to occasionally slip
into drawn-out bombast.

GREAT Album... The Infinite Box is not really the Best Iteration in existence, if you are litterally obsessed by this (like ME)
ReplyDeletetry to listen to some Prof. Stoned MONO MIX or PBTHAL rip!
Same for The first, a little less evident.
For the 98% of music I'm more than happy with the first copy/format/edition I have at hand.
ReplyDeleteIf talking of Beatles catalog I listen only to Dr. Ebbetts,
Same for Zeppelin (Monarch etc.) Or Stones... if I got to listen to horrible remasters. Better listen to Techno!
I hope you are just enjoying a holiday and will be back soon! I had intentions of keeping a more productive blogging schedule, but life happens...
