Read the liner notes. Some major changes were made to the original release and were made because supposedly the official release "wasn't the way it was originally intended." The overall sound of the remaster is different because the tape speed was corrected and Break on Through and The End weren't as explicit lyrically prior to the remaster. They decided to reinstate the whole of Morrison's original vocal because supposedly this is a different time period.

I have the remaster, and I love it dearly. I have no clue what you're talking about.

I'm curious what people here think about the recent remaster and it's historical revisionism. If you have it, you know what I'm talking about.

One of the greatest albums ever. Light My Fire, Break On Through and The End are some of the best songs ever. Today you don't find albums like this. I would give it a 5 stars rank undoubtly.

This album has so much to it, so much influence! From Jim's poetic style influenced by the great beatniks, to poets dating back to the 1800s, to the african drum beat intro, to blues, rock. Raw voice, and musicians that know how to play their instruments. They had their own style to the rock scene going on back then, and they continue to influence bands now. I can honestly say, this album is among the best debut albums imo. Sexy, thought provoking, and a smooth listen (no skips required!)Need I say more?

Absolutely near flawless album with tons of personality and raw power. This debut album covers blues (Soul Kitchen), plain old rock (Break On Through), eerie chills (End of the Night), and a pure epic (The End). I can still listen to this album and still feel the power run through me like the first time I listened to it.
