It has to better than the match! I'll spin Alphaville later as part of my warm down!

Agreed, we are soooo slow and boring.
Going to pens I reckon.

I'm definitely not jealous of those fans who travelled despite the immersive sound in the stadium.

And we won on pens.... unbelievable

It's a bit draining though. If only Southgate would wear a waistcoat......England would be so much better

On Amazon it is saying it may not playback in North America. Did anyone else see that anywhere?

It plays fine.

So has anyone heard this yet?

I've heard some dreadful things about the mix on social media.

That would be a shame because I love the album.

I'll be listening shortly. My copy arrived today from SDE.

I wouldn't say the mix is dreadful.
But a better mix should have been used with all the elements in use on this release.
I would say it's an slightly less than average mix.
Having said that I enjoyed it

And, to be clear, the fidelity is superb. For me, the heights...especially rear heights are mostly some delayed vocals and instrumentation. It does add to the overall impression of depth. Especially compared to the stereo version. Not much in terms of discreet information I'd say, but overall I think it sounds pretty darn good.

If you're hoping for an Atmos tour de force, this is not it.

Thanks.

I only have a 5.1 set up, so not looking for a a great ATMOS mix. Just something decent.

Sounds like it's worth getting.

Thanks again.

Just gave my copy a listen. Not in Atmos though, but in 5.1. Seems to fold down nicely. Personally I like the mix, immersive in a sense that all speakers are working. It's not a subtle surround mix and it does have some nice discreet elements panned to the surround speakers. No regrets getting this.
I'm very familiar with this album. Listen to this loud

No Dolby Atmos logo on cover, disc or notes. Hmm.
