Album Review: The Doors - Weird Scenes Inside The Gold Mine

StarStarStarStar

A lot of love has gone into the project.

Released in 1972, this Best Of double album has been remastered and presented as one of the band's cornerstone moments. A lot of love has gone into the project and the album title alone captures the idea that the band was more than just a pop act. Weird Scenes is a well presented deluxe look at the band's history, capturing their more transcendental leanings. The shamanistic The End and Riders On the Storm are here as well as B-sides like Who Scared You and the oddly titled (You Need Meat) Don't Go No Further.
