Stoned Immaculate: The Music of the Doors
 

Stoned Immaculate: The Music of the Doors

Includes liner notes by Ralph Sall, Danny Sugerman, Robby Krieger, Ray Manzarek & John Densmore. STONED IMMACULATE is much better than the average tribute album. Not only is it more cleverly conceived; along with the contemporary and classic bands performing in homage to the Doors, there are works by artists who influenced the seminal Morrison-led group. There's nary a dud track here (although Cult frontman Ian Astbury's version of "Touch Me" at times verges on Wayne Newton territory) and at least one--Creed's "Riders on the Storm", which reinterprets the song's chorus brilliantly--actually improves on the original. Other highlights include Aerosmith's letter-perfect Xerox of "Love Me Two Times" (a song they were born to play), William S. Burrough's appropriately sepulchral recitation of "Is Everybody In?" and Stone Temple Pilots' nicely metallic take on "Break on Through."

Pros Stone Temple Pilots, Bo Diddley, Aerosmith, Creed (yikes, I know)
Cons SMASH MOUTH!
Recommended it? Yes

In the past I?ve talked about a few albums containing classic tracks remade by contemporary bands. Unlike many strict fans, I find myself very open to these tracks. I feel that these bands could very well have very valid interpretations of songs?even if they are already classics. Stoned Immaculate... Read full review »

Pros Impressive list of artists, a few passable tracks.
Cons Complete and utter blasphemy to The Door discography.
Recommended it? No


Long before I was into grunge, epic metal, alternative and other strains of music, there were the classic groups like The Doors, Hendrix, The Beatles and others. Most of my early musical influences came from siblings that were still in that 'stoner stage' of life. When I saw the Stoned... Read full review »

Pros Interesting look inside the brains of The Doors' heirs apparent.
Cons Rare Doors tracks under-represented or not in evidence.
Recommended it? Yes

This is the compilation that all Doors enthusiasts have been waiting for---the question is, now that it's here, should we let it in?

For the most part, it is an entertaining package, with plenty of respect and reverence and syrupy adulation for Morrison and his legacy, which is not to say... Read full review »
