Waiting for the Sun is the third studio album by the American rock band the Doors, released by Elektra Records on July 3, 1968. The album's 11 tracks were recorded between late 1967 and May 1968 mostly at TTG Studios in Los Angeles. It became the band's only number one album, topping the Billboard 200 for four weeks, while also including their second US number one single, "Hello, I Love You". It also became the band's first hit album in the UK, where it reached number 16. The first single released off the record was "The Unknown Soldier", which peaked at number 39 on the Billboard Hot 100. Having released two records that drew from a large pool of previously composed songs, the Doors began to improvise for their third album in late 1967. Due to the shortage of original material, the group suffered what drummer John Densmore described as the "third album syndrome", struggling to compose sufficient good material to fill the album. The recording sessions also proved difficult for the group due to lead singer Jim Morrison's worsening alcoholism. The album provoked mixed reactions upon release, with many deriding its diversity and songwriting quality as detriments and inconsistent.
