Gold Mine! of an album "The Soft Parade" Recorded and written by the Doors(1969). Most Critics doubted as it uninteresting, and dry. Well me personally i think the album is extraordinary, tracks like "Touch Me" which is my favourite song by the Doors without a doubt. The single of "Touch Me" did extremely good in the U.S charts! reaching #1 on the Billboard Cashbox Top 100. A chart that i havented even heard of before, well now i`v learned something new. During the progress of making "The Soft Parade" Jim Marrison was having coping difficulties, but on the plus side of it, increasing alcoholism and interest in poetry.
Pathetic! "The Rolling Stones Magazine" rated it as (unfavorable) what the f**k. Damn! i was die to get this record on Vinyl LP. Oh well music critics dont know jack sh*t about *REAL* decent music, aha thats why you`ve got guys like me, making it more fun and interesting to read. Another remarkable song from the album "Wishful Sinful" written by Doors guitarist "Robbie Krieger". I thought it was a pretty good song, but then again some people didnt like it, wasn`t sounding like the doors. Successful it did release as 7`vinyl single of the song in March of 1969. Its not like now days in my generation where the whole music industry shitty bubblegum pop into you`re faces 24/7 on the radio and on music channels on the TV. Sometimes i think i was born in the wrong generation yup, that might be true. Those amazing sax solos on "Touch Me" unbelievable fantastic stuff.
You can say "Elvis Presley was the king of rocknroll fairenough, along with Chuck Berry". But nothing can beat the sounds of "The Doors" and Jim Marrisons incredible poetry, very sworn intention.
Overall rating on "The Soft Parade" album 8/10 for some fucking awesome psychedelic rock.
Thanks for reading! hope you`ve enjoyed my review on this album.
