The Doors-Strange Days


(S4 Ep25) The Doors - Strange Days

Released September 25, 1967, Recorded between May-August 1967 (Elektra)

Strange Days, The Doors’ ambitious sophomore album, blends dark, poetic themes with groundbreaking production. Opening with the eerie Moog-driven title track—one of rock’s earliest uses of the synthesizer—the album dives into surrealism, alienation, and existential dread. Highlights include hits like “People Are Strange” and “Love Me Two Times,” the experimental “Horse Latitudes,” and the 11-minute epic “When the Music’s Over.” Jim Morrison’s lyrics, often lifted from his notebooks, showcase a maturing vocal performance. At the same time, Ray Manzarek’s keyboards, Robby Krieger’s inventive guitar, and John Densmore’s jazz-inflected drumming create a rich sonic palette. Despite a mixed initial reception, Strange Days is now regarded as a milestone in psychedelic rock, influencing subsequent genres such as gothic and post-punk. The album’s avant-garde cover, atmospheric production by Bruce Botnick, and dense, evocative songwriting confirm The Doors as one of America’s most innovative 1960s bands, far more than just Morrison’s myth.
