any real fan of The Doors must surely own a copy of this album,
By
This review is from: An American Prayer (Audio CD)
This is the 1978 release of music layed down by the remining members of The Doors over a poetry soundtrack recorded by Jim Morrison in 1970. For some reason when people write about The Doors this album is rarely mentioned. However, any real fan of The Doors must surely own a copy of this album. It really captures the mood of the end of the hippy period, when things were looking far more dark and menacing than they had for some years. It also is the perfect encapsulation of everything that Morrison was about. He much preferred to be thought of as a poet than a rock star. the interlacing of The Doors music over Morrison's words works phenomenally. The music reflects the poetry and the whole thing does NOT look like it was thrown together with 8 intervening years. It's a really under-rated album and worth anyone spending their money on.

Jim Morrison-The Lizard King,
By
This review is from: An American Prayer (Audio CD)
An American prayer is a collection of poems wrote by jim before he died with music by the rest of the doors.Its such a fitting album for his sad end as he refers to his own death in the ablum many times. which contains some great work such as ghost song and bird of prey. When i first heard the album i thought it was great and i still feel that way about it everytime i listen to his calming voice and the hypnotic music of the doors. Contains explicit language

Putting the Doors in context,
By
This review is from: An American Prayer (Audio CD)
This album has an appealingly polished veneer: the new music sounds fresh and vibrant, and Jim Morrison's wonderful voice floats slickly over the top. The new music of the Doors sounds tailor-made to fit his poetry, with familiar reworkings of old themes and recurring elements. The poetry itself is very vivid, if a little jarring at times for its more explicit content; I feel that this album is most valuable for the samples of older Doors' recordings and Jim Morrison's singing; the poetry and samples don't help to explain the older lyrics, but put them in context: they make the lyricist, who is frequently lost behind the instrumentalists, stand out as a poet.
