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

81.64* Yet another Beatles album loaded with top class tracks. And they just kept getting better. Another example of why they are worthy of the label as one of the greatest bands ever. EVER!!!!
