Last true Doors record

(4 out of 5 stars)
"The Doors last stand. A bit of a departure from the earlier recordings. This was Jim's last recording before his death. A very bluesy effort with a laid back sound throughout. Songs like the Changeling, Love her madly and others are more real and not contrived just for the sake of doing a different record. Jim sounds like a blues shamen on this one. Too bad they never got to build from this one. Riders on the Storm rejoice and pick this one up."
Great Finish

"This album is maybe The Doors best album since Strange Days. The album can do without The Changeling, Cars Hiss By My Window, and Crawling King Snake. Been Down So Long, L'America, The WASP (Texas Radio and the Big Beat), and Hyacinth House are great songs to help support the album. Love Her Madly is a great song. The title track, L.A. Woman, is a great song with so much energy, especially with the big build-up during the bridge. The band leaves us with Riders On the Storm, which is just pure brilliance. The Doors finish up with one of their best albums ever."
