DVD/DTS Poll Black Sabbath - Paranoid [DTS/DD DVD+2CD]

[ssully]

We're talking about compression *added to* the original masters, for a digital surround version.

I was expecting to give this one a very low score. But when you stop and think about the voting criteria that is supposed to be used when casting a vote, I come up with a 7. Go figure...


30% SURROUND MIX - How good is this mix? 7
30% AUDIO FIDELITY - How does it sound? 4
30% CONTENT - Do you like it. Is it good music. Will you go back to it again? 9
10% OVERALL PACKAGE - Format, packaging, other things you like or don't like about it. 9

Cannot even believe I've never voted on what is easily one of my top 3 favorite bands. I gave it a 7, which feels too high...but it's just simple averages for me.

Mix - 6
Fidelity - 6
Content - 10

Averages to ~7

I voted 7. My version has an interesting background parade of images and sounds great in surround -- in fact, there is a very different mix of some songs.

"Planet Caravan" is wonderfully stony

Compared to Sgt. Pepper's, I'd even go higher to an 8, but let's not go overboard all the time. . . .

LOL! I hear you. Caravan is one of my all time favorite stoner songs. It sure gets the “job” done when needed. [emoji51]

Just received my copy. It was a bit more than 1€, I just ripped it and listened to Iron Man in quad ...

... until I was over-ruled by the rest of the family to watch some ballet

I would have taken that interlude to go begin work on my dedicated listening room / man cave. You know, a place where Black Sabbath is NEVER interrupted by ballet

This is one of the few polls that has every number(1-10) represented by a vote...and with 46 votes that's not easy...after a brief analysis of the votes on this poll I have come to the conclusion that a lot of people are still getting stoned

I'm gonna edit my post so its legit for being on a poll thread...

I vote a 4 on this. Its basically for the content and some of the stereo stuff. The surround mix of this release is sonically poor and easily bested by a transfer of the original Q4.

And....
fairies do wear boots

That's my story and i'm stickin to it.

Boy, am I happy! I just found the 5.1 DVD from this set in an unmarked case for $1.00 at my local used book and record store! I haven't listened to it yet, but I was curious to see what you all thought of it.


oh.


I guess I got ripped off.

I'll listen to it once anyway. : )

Yes I know, but I'd like to get a picture of it so I know how to distinguish it from the Quad

In the future, you may want to check Discogs first

Was actually talking about the exterior jewel case or digi-pack whichever it was released in . Thanks anyhow. Forgot to check Discogs

Was just perusing this Poll, and noticed a Japanese version; anyone know if that's the same mix and could it be a different mastering, as the UK version on the DVD (and later re-pressed in 2015?)

Sorry for bumping an old thread but I just got this release today and my "quad" mix, is actually a 5.1 mix, with information in all 6 channels. From screenshots earlier in this thread, it looks like some discs actually were 4 channel quad mixes. Can anyone point me to which release has the proper 4 channel quad mix? (even if it sounds like garbage) Thanks!
