I wouldn't necessarily say the remaster is objectively "better". It does have a more modern quality to it. It's eqed and compressed so that it will sound clearer and louder across multiple listening devices of varying quality. I don't know how much work went into the remastering process but there is a noticeable difference between the original and the remaster. I've gotten so used to the original recording that I still like to listen to that as well. To my ears the remaster is a little sharp but not enough that it really bothers me. If I'm in the car and the music has to compete with road noise, etc. I like the remaster. If I'm at home with the nice record player I'm more into the original.
