I’d give it five stars for “Riders on the Storm” alone that song is a masterpiece !!!!
The album is just as much of a masterpiece, and even though there are some tracks I like less than others, the instrumental really makes up for it, it’s amazing I love it, it’s magnificent and for that alone it ticks all the boxes
The Doors will always remain one of my favourite bands
