HiRez Poll Cure, The - SONGS OF A LOST WORLD [Blu-Ray Audio (Dolby Atmos)]

[Tres Discrete]

So here’s a photo & a question (since I still consider myself a tenderfoot in these here parts…)
I normally try to keep my speakers within 2 or 3 db’s of each other…but on this album I went way outside those limits to hear anything in the rears or heights.
Is that normal throughout the more experienced Atmos folks?
Still gave it an 8.
Is it the best Cure album? No.
Is it the best mix? No.
Is any Cure album in any surround mix better than 8/10ths of everything else out there?
Yes, IMHO…

Do you get any sound from the Center speaker? I can't hear anything on my system. Vocals are splitted between Front Left and Front Right.

I bought the album a few days ago. While I really dig the music, the Atmos mix leaves me a bit skeptical. There's no sound coming from my center speaker... how about you? I'm sure the problem isn't with my system, because the center speaker works with any other DVD/Blu-ray I play.

Indeed no support for the central box. It is immediately noticeable when you leave the start-up menu. Nowadays I actually only listen to the stereo version.
