Free Music Review: The Best Version So Far - By a Good Margin
Hit: 5 Stars
I know I'm in the minority here when I say this is my favorite Doors album. It's more than that actually - I CHERISH this album. It ranks in my Top 5 of all albums of ANY genre. And Wishful Sinful, along with the title song, are probably my all-time favorite Doors songs. Yes, there is some lounge singing on this album along with substantial orchestration, but as it turns out, Morrison was exceptionally good at it, and I think adds to the album's varied and sometimes wacky writing. No groove here - they were all over the place.
Audio Fidelity, the company that produced this remaster, has been causing me to lose my religion of late; releasing remasters that either aren't superior to all previous CD versions of a title, or just barely surpassing them. Worst of all, there has been verifiable compression and limiting on a few of their releases, and those are huge no-no's for an audiophile label. This title is one of those sinners. And although it's only employed minimally, you have to wonder what they were thinking. People are rightfully upset about this.
That said, this gold disc is the best sounding CD version of The Soft Parade to date, and the compression isn't noticeable. The old versions sound muddy, especially the bass, compared to this one. This sounds more detailed and hi-res, and the bass sounds taut. I also didn't detect any of the shrillness that has plagued a couple of songs on side one (the first half of the disc) of previous versions.
All-in-all, it is a very enjoyable listen, and I'm extremely grateful to have this superior sounding version of one of my favorite albums.
