Strange Days Review
Even darker than their purple-hued debut, the Doors' follow-up, Strange Days, closed 1967 with an ominous flourish. Highlighted mostly by short, radio-friendly tunes such as the bluesy "Love Me Two Times" and the cabaret-style "People Are Strange" and featuring a smattering of edgy recitations ("Horse Latitudes") and smoky rockers ("My Eyes Have Seen You"), the album features a centerpiece that was another ambitious extended track, "When the Music's Over." On it, Morrison railed at everything from organized religion to pollution, and his rallying cry--"We want the world, and we want it now!"--became a call to arms for the counterculture rising up around the band. --Billy Altman

'Strange Days' is one of those albums where you scratch your head and think "What the heck was that all about?" after listening to it. Its opening track (The same as the albums title) will send shivers up and down your spine. 'Horse Latitudes' an innovative recorded work of spoken poetry is insane (Especially when you realize what the poem is all about)! Those teenie bopper fans from the commercial success of first album who are expecting a repeat will be disappointed. This follow up album doesn't necessairly continue in the same footsteps as its predecessor and thats what makes it so good. Sure the radio hits are there ('People Are Strange', 'Love Me Two Times', and 'Moonlight Drive') but the amount of creativity involved in every aspect of this compilation makes those little pop tunes more creative and interesting.
