Full Circle is the 8th studio album by the American rock band The Doors. The album was released on the 15th August 1972 through Elektra Records. ‘Full Circle’ is The Doors’ second without the iconic frontman Jim Morrison. This album is often overshadowed by the band’s earlier work, yet it offers a fascinating glimpse into their experimental side. The album delves into diverse genres, blending rock with elements of jazz and funk. Despite the mixed reviews from critics, ‘Full Circle’ has earned a place in the hearts of many fans who appreciate The Doors’ broader artistic journey. It is a testament to the remaining members and their ability to continue working together as a band with innovation and courage.
In retrospect, ‘Full Circle’ may not have achieved the legendary status of albums like ‘L.A. Woman’ or ‘The Doors,’ but it remains a significant part of The Doors’ discography. It reflects a time of transition and experimentation, capturing a band that was both honouring its past and bravely stepping into the future. For listeners, it’s a reminder that even in the absence of Morrison, The Doors’ spirit of exploration and musical craftsmanship continued to thrive.
