Customer Reviews

The best doors compilation- disc 2 offers more surprises than the first
The truth is, all of The Door's albums are worth owning and because each album was so different in style, it is important to purchase each one seperately to understand the true artistic diversity of the band. However in terms of packaging and tracklisting, this is the best compilation ever. The 40th anniversary remixes have noticible clarity over the previous CD releases, although it is disc 2 that sees some of the most noticable improvements. Love her madly and hello I love you are subtly different as are riders on on the storm and others although it is these former two that are superior through enchancement.

The running order on the first disc is little different from the previous best of, but disc 2 is nicely balanced with all the up-tempo pop of "the soft parade" mated to the single waiting for the sun and the opener from Morrison Hotel finally being more aptly placed as a rip-roaring finale. This is a great compilation, and even if you own all the albums, is just about different to warrant a purchase, especially for a car journey.

Brilliant Music
Brilliant and splendid music that only gets better with time, like good wine.
Picture yourself hanging onto one timeless song `The End'. No matter how many times one would listen to it, one will never have enough. It's superb. There is a divine connection to the universe. It reminded me `The little prince' somehow; the desert, eternity, the beauty of our existence here down on earth, the link to the cosmos, mixing with the notion of time. The other songs were great as well, however, `The End' is `The Doors' best song ever.
