4 stars the second album by Doors, being a commercially a successful as his predecessor, they continued with their psychedelic and acid rock style focused in the keyboards/organs in a part, but now the lyric taking more antagonism. The creation of the album was influenced a little by the sound of Sgt Pepper of the Beatles, they got a early copy and they got really impressed, at that time they had more room to experiment with the sound and the music. Lyrically, I think is where this album improved a lot, Morrison continues to use metaphors and his style to express his feeling about more relevant topics. Musically, it maintains the style of the previous album, however is not as good as it, it focused more in the lyrics of Morrison, you will not find any spectacular or elaborated in the music, only good songs and good lyrics, only the song when the music is over shows signs of progressive, it is the best song of the album. Finally, a very good addition to any prog collection, it has really good moments, especially with when the music is over, but musically diminished its quality in comparison with its predecessor.
