Def Leppard 'Pyromania' - Atmos version (4CD/Blu-Ray set with Giles Martin Dolby Atmos mix coming in April!)

[SeeMoreDigital]

Jeez... The price listed on Amazon UK is currently £89.99... That's way too much for a 4-disc box set and book!

It’s CDN$125 on Amazon CA

Ouch! Will pick this up for sure once the price drops as I only want the BD, would order a standalone immediately if they add it.

Same here, I only want the BD and I'm not paying the current price.

Very curious to hear if the Atmos mix on the BD-A is any different than what is available through streaming since Giles Martin is supposedly involved in some fashion.

I'm betting the BD-A will be much better.

Still haven't pulled the trigger on this. Waiting for reviews and the price to drop once the hype settles. If it never drops then oh well, it's more than I'd spend now or later. But I suspect it will. They may also release a standalone surround disc if they think there's more market to be tapped. I'd think that would largely depend on how many unsold sets end up collecting dust in the warehouse. It's one of only a handful of 2024 surround releases I'm even vaguely interested.

I got vinyl instead.

Just arrived , it will be great.

Listening now to the hard disc in the player, Dolby Atmos.
Well you cannot deny a GREAT album, every song a hit.
I'm halfway through the Atmos mix, there are definite moments of greatness.
Solid immersive rock feel.
Heights come and go and I think Giles went for the big impact, when needed a blast, the blast is there, when not needed the floor foundation takes care of all that is needed.
Glad I have it and look forward to listening to all the rest.

We have ignition! The fire is burning and it is hot and beautiful the Pyromania is good......Oh and what marpow said.

Can anybody confirm whether or not one of the tracks is an upmix?
I won’t give the track name, unless asked.
Listening to the streaming Atmos version, one of the tracks shies away from the mixing techniques of all the other songs.
Very front-centric. Gang vocals locked up front, instead of rearward and up in the heights. Not much else going on in the immersive sound field, either, to my ears.

Looking at the decoded 7.1.4, in Audition, none of the tracks stand out. They all look very similar.

I’m sure the track in question has content in all channels. To my ears it just isn’t discrete content.

 

[Juggsnelson]

Very quick first impressions

1) Great bottom end. You can really discern Sav's basslines.

2) AS you might expect, the gang backing vocals sound great in surround

3) Thomas Dolby's synth contributions really stand out in a positive way.

 

[marpow]

I have listened to all and feel the vocals recessed a little bit, I wanted the vocals to come forward a bit.
Reminded me of Megadeth's Peace Sells with the vocals too far in the background. Pyromania not as bad as Peace Sells.
I compared the stereo 2023 Mix from the Blu Ray to my 1983 CD, the Blu Ray more compressed, maybe sounds louder so I like it?
2023 DTS HD MSTR Stereo: DR's are all 9's.
1983 Original CD Stereo: Dr's are 11, 12's, 13's.
Really doesn't mean anything, just a note.

I know Atmos is the big deal these days, but I’d love to hear some comments on the 5.1 mix if anyone listens to it
