One side is called "Hard Rock Cafe," the other "Morrison Hotel." Guess which I prefer. Now guess which is supposed to be more "poetic." And now guess which is more poetic. "The future's uncertain and the end is always near" is just the Lizard King's excuse for mingling with the proles who "get on down," but it sure beats the Anaïs Nin tribute for originality and aptness of thought. Still, the band is rocking tighter than it ever has, Robbie Krieger's phrasing keeps things moving, and Morrison's gliding vocal presence--arty and self-absorbed though it may be--provides focus. He's not the genius he makes himself out to be, so maybe his genius is that he doesn't let his pretensions cancel out his talent. B+

>>129882388The The Doors album (1970) shows a sign reading "Hard Rock Café," which predates the restaurant by about a year. Because of that timing, many people assume influence, but it's never been confirmed as the source.
all I know is that Peace Frog is a fucking jam
>>129882273Why do I get the feeling a known cuckold wrote this?

An interesting thing with the Doors is that you can grow up along with their discography. I used to be a teenage pot smoking hippie and loved the s/t album and Waiting for the Suns. But you grow up and become a beer loving alcoholic and find the beauty in albums like Morrison Hotel and LA Woman, while before you didn't get it at all. Now I'm 27 though and I don't know what comes next.
