Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 82.3/100, a mean average of 81.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.6.

Gigantes se consolidaram em seu blues-acid-rock!
A more experimental record from The Doors that will either click with you and you will love it or you won't get it and I fall in the latter category. The music just doesn't seem to work for me and it doesn't have the appeal and charm of their debut or later releases. There isn't anything ground breaking or really exciting on here that makes me think I have to come back again for that outstanding moment. Despite this, there are 4 or 5 good songs that are enjoyable and they are spread out intelligently so the weaker tracks don't seem so impactful. Overall, I think this is a good record and I might be missing something but this record hasn't clicked for me and I don't understand why it is so highly praised.
This is my favorite Doors album. Loaded with great tracks. Title track and 'People are Strange' being my pick of the bunch within. One of the greater bands of the late 60's (Edited)

Lanzado en 1967, opacado por el album debut de la banda, Strange Days es otro recital de buena música que no les puedo mentir: me lo he gozado de inicio a fin.
Strange Days introduce este concepto de extrañeza, misterio y ambigüedad que será el tema central del disco.
Siguiendo, el bajo que sienta las bases de You're Lost Little Girl aporta ese concepto misterio y oscuro del concepto del album.
Love Me Two Times es un clásico que le tengo mucho aprecio. La escuché en Guitar Hero por primera vez, nada más y nada menos que tocándola, la canción se puede interpretar como una temática sexual, clásico de Jim y de The Doors.
A esta obra maestra le siguen 2 canciones de menos de 2 minutos, que no cumplen lo suficiente para seguirle la pista pero que dejan interesantes instrumentaciones psicodélicas, (de paso en 1967, qué tal año para tocar rock psicodélico)
Cuando parece por dos canciones seguidas que el disco languidece, The Doors retoman con Moonlight Drive, un lindo tema que destaca por sus riffs de guitarra que aportan un sutil blues hipnotizante.
A continuación, el principal tema del disco, STRANGE DAYS, sí, no se podía dejar de lado lo extraño ni en el título, pero toda la atmósfera que crea esta canción es de destacar, quizá de lo mejor que sigue el concepto. El solo con el teclado y la guitarra acentúa la visión de lo que puede ser una casa fantasma ubicada en un bosque desolado. Enorme trabajo.
My Eyes Have Seen You parece imitar un tanto la melodía de Strange Days, parece que el fantasma de la mejor canción le seguirá al resto del disco. Endless roll, Endless roll, Endless roll, Endless roll.
I Can't See Your Face ralentiza el rock del disco, que, a decir verdad, no ha sido hard rock como Break on Through to the Other Side, ha sido rock psicodélico con una especie de soft rock, acid rock.
Finalmente, When the Music's Over, un título irónico para un tema que se prolonga hacia los 10 minutos. Abre con una nota parecida a Soul Kitchen, crece y crece, y se reinventa e incorpora instrumentos, y en el coro, "Turn out the lights" muy muy muy similar al estribillo de End of the Night. El disco en este punto parece un The Doors 2.0, ¿y por qué no estaría agradable eso?
Fin. Se acabó el disco. ¿Será mejor que The Doors? No lo sé. ¿Por qué decidir ahora? Ha estado grandioso y eso es lo que cuenta. Gracias, The Doors, por esta obra maestra.
Not my favorite Doors record, People Are Strange is quite good song and there are couple of hidden gems, but overall i don't come again to this one very often.
