Gentler than its two predecessors, but beautiful

It is indeed generally - again - like to talk "softest" of the Doors album, if one comes to speak of "Waiting For The Sun".
In any case, it is naturally more gentle than the two previous works, but above all in the atmosphere a little brighter. Melancholy hovers still on the whole, but the music does not sound quite so bleak.
Fortunately, this does not mean that you can ingratiate themselves in commercial terms (which would then even more on "The Soft Parade" true) or weaker songs had written. Quite the opposite: The tracks on "Waiting For The Sun" contain some of the finest vocal lines that has ever written the band: The wonderfully sumptuous "Summer's Almost Gone", the brief but sing compatible and equipped with harpsichord "Wintertime Love", the officially grooving "We Could Be So Good Together" and especially the divine "Yes, The River Knows": Simply gorgeous with Densmore's jazz drums, Morrisons gentle voice, Robby Kriegers feelingly played guitar and piano Manzareks game.
Wonderful is also the naïve-sounding "Love Street" and "Spanish Caravan" - can show a piece in which warrior what he so draufhat as flamenco guitarist.
With the anti-war song "The Unknown Soldier", the Group is making then their contribution to the theme Vietnam War, with the wild, escalating genial "Not To Touch The Earth" is an excerpt from Morrisons poem "The Celebration Of The Lizard" presented and with "Hello, I Love You" is a catchy tune and the alcohol-pregnant "Five To One" is also one of the best known and best Doors songs.
Conclusion: On their third album, The Doors not shy away from experiments, which by the way also the Crazy "My Wild Love" shows - variety is written as always great. Overall, the band is a little quieter, what you just as well to face is like the slightly harder, darker alignment before.
