 "Volume Two" largely manages to eclipse the first disc, bringing the concert back to a sufficient average.

 If someone is curious and wants to spend some money on it… I warmly recommend only the second volume.

This review analyzes Genesis' live album 'The Way We Walk' from their 1992 tour. Volume One, focused on 80s hits, falls short with many tracks extended or flattened. Volume Two impresses with deeper, more complex songs and cohesive band performance.

 The biggest flaw, besides a certain compositional flatness, lies precisely in continuing to use The Doors name.

 If it had been released under a different name, probably today, instead of being considered one of the most useless albums in history, it would be a gem for fans and enthusiasts of the band.

This review examines The Doors' 1972 album 'Full Circle,' created after Jim Morrison's death. The remaining band members explore new styles blending psychedelia, blues, and rock with mixed results. While some tracks stand out, the album struggles to match the classic Doors' poetic depth and energy. The reviewer suggests the album might have been better received if released without The Doors' name. Discover The Doors' unique post-Morrison sound on 'Full Circle' — listen now and experience a rare chapter of rock history.

 The album that emerged, ‘DaDa,’ is probably his best work.

 DaDa features a very atypical rhythm: the perfect combination of electronics and keyboards, creating a dark, claustrophobic, and at the same time surreal atmosphere.

Despite its commercial failure, DaDa stands out as a high-quality and unique chapter in Cooper's career.
