Negative Positive
Title: Don't Mess With Perfection
Review: I wish I could concur with the majority on this release and say the music had been enhanced, but I'm not hearing anything appropriate in these new mixes. After 40 years of enjoying my original mono & stereo pressings I was curious to hear what approach Bruce Botnick would take. In my opinion they decided to remove most of the subtle effects from the original mix in favor of "digital clarity" for a new generation.While I agree that the original release of The Doors was dark, I found it enveloping in a way that the new mixes are not. The keyboards on Light My Fire sound thin and fast instead of full and rounded, and completely mismatch the softness of Jim Morrison's vocals.Some classics are best left original, and this is one of them.
Is the review positive or negative?
