88.57* Side 1 (first 4 songs) on this is close to perfection. Bit disappointed with the title track but as a whole this is the ultimate psychedelic album. Cementing Floyd as unique game makers. Fucking gold.

88.50 I seem to be going through a bit of a 'Doors' re-appreciation phase at the moment. Always liked them but enjoying them a heap more nowadays. This is my fave studio album from them. Cracker cover. "True sailing is dead"

87.72 Great album. What more needs be said. I seem to be fortunate in acquiring a copy (CD) that has all songs from both US and UK on it. Lucky me. This is almost a greatest hits album. That says a lot for a studio album.

86.272* Great album. The Doors are The Doors. One of a kind. 'The End' just oozing atmosphere. 'The Crystal Ship' is an under rated gem. Fine album right through. 11/25
