Any love here for this album? An album which a lot of people hate and put last on their list of favourite Doors albums....

I don't mind it, wouldn't say it is shit.

    I actually love it. Runnin' Blue is one of my ringtones. It's one of the first albums I ever remember my dad playing when I was a kid. Now I wouldn't go and make the argument that it is their best album or even assert where it belongs in their catalogue, but there's definitely lots of good stuff on there....Touch Me, Do It, Wild Child, Wishful Sinful and even the title track though quite unique it may be.
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    I hate it with a passion and I no longer even enjoy Touch Me from hearing it on the radio too many times.

    I'm pretty sure Jim Morrison hated this album when they were making it. All that brass killed it.

    LA Woman was a nice comeback. ;)

    Adore this album! Heard it first when I was very young so it has stuck with me & always reminds me of that time... 'Wishful Sinful' is a beautiful song, gorgeous melodies on this album...
