The excess of rock 'n roll celebritydom clearly has taken its toll on front man Jim Morrison during the recording sessions of Waiting for the Sun, the third studio album released by The Doors. Oddly the album titled track is not released until two albums later, Morrison Hotel. Despite Waiting for the Sun's diminished status compared to its previous predecessors, it was the band's only album to achieve number one status in the charts, largely off the strength of Morrison's hippy happy single Hello, I Love You. Spanish Caravan is a wonderful baroque folk track with the band in complete unison behind Morrison's almost mystical baritone vocals. However the front man's sobriety seems short-lived. Morrison's vocals are rather slurred and inconsistent during the protest song, The Unknown Soldier and the orgy ode, Five to One. Ray Manzarek's accompanying sound effects achieved by his keyboard on The Unknown Soldier adds depth to the inevitable murder committed by the war machine. The little mentioned deep cut Summer's Almost Gone is perhaps analogous to the deteriorating state of Morrison himself and oddly brings to mind Nirvana's Sliver as a recount of a possible childhood memory. My Wild Love envisions the band under the influence of hallucinogens, sitting cross legged, surrounding a crackling campfire, tribal chanting harmoniously at the dead of night. Waiting for the Sun is confirmation that The Doors, especially the fragile Morrison, were peeking through the keyhole to the afterlife on the other side.

Were it not for the incredible "Not To Touch The Earth," and the underrated "Yes, The River Knows," I would probably rate this a four. It feels rushed for a Doors record, and in fact, it WAS rushed by Rothschild, simply trying to capitalize on the success of the self-titled and Strange Days. Some songs on here, like "Wintertime Blues" and "We Could Be So Good Together" haven't gotten a lot of attention for good reason.

Despite perhaps lacking a bit of the punch provided by the band's first two outings from 1967, The Doors' third studio effort, 1968's Waiting for the Sun is no less a stellar offering. Given the fact that by this point the band had put out three albums in two years, and the fact that the material on said discs were highly consistent, this is a feat by itself. This album would be the bands only number one record, and about half of it offers itself to classic fan-favourites.

The Doors' third offering is not a touch on their eponymous debut but in its own right is still a great record.
