8 I never heard Faith Hill or heard of her before I bought this album. Although I shy away from "Country", I really liked the album. Good extras ups the score. Recemmended.

For me it was one of her weaker realeases.. not much memorable here. The sound quality and mix are good though.

I'd go with 7,5 if I could...

Definitely one of the better surround mixes out there (it's Elliot, baby!), pretty discrete, with great soundstage and full-blooded sounding. One major con though: it all starts to sound samey samey rather soon, even when you can easily tell that the songs originate from different productions.

Good that the disc apart boasts 96/24 PCM and 48/1536 kbps 5.1 mixes, as well as a good portion of behind-the-scenes video, too.

Anyway, gimme Britney or Shania for my occasional guilty pleasure seance over this disc anytime - a 7 from me.

Found this review on the net. I think I'll have to drag this out and listen to it. I'm not sure I ever even opened it! :yikes

I listened to this disc exactly one time. Though the mix was superb from what I remember.

I enjoy listening and "looking at" Faith Hill. On first listen I am giving this DVD Audio a 10. Excellent sound, Faith's voice is exceptional and the music is as good as I can ask for in this genre. No complaints here. Even the extras are worth a watch.

I don't care for this one very much, just keeping it for a couple of decent tracks. I vote 6.

Not Hill's best musical work, but very nice sound quality. Found this at an excellent price on eBay. I'll go with 7.

What gives with the lack of luv for this release.
It is a really well mixed and mastered album
The fidelity is great.
Is there a problem with perceived country music?
Well anyway, I like a complete cross section of music and I like to give credit where credit is due.
So on that basis I will cry no more, a 9

I’m very familiar with every Faith Hill album as my wife is a huge fan (I’ve even been to one of Faith’s shows). This is my favorite of the bunch and leans towards pop/R&B at times. Good fidelity and an excellent Scheiner mix. 8.

I picked this up for $5 but haven't given it a proper listen yet...I'll see about getting to it in the new few weeks.

However, ever since South Park did "Faith Hilling," I tend to snicker just a bit: http://southpark.cc.com/clips/411082/not-on-my-watch

Did anyone ever try "Faith Hill TV"?

I just realized the poll was here.
I've had this one for a long time and give it a 10
Beautiful voice and songs.
A very nice discreet 5.1 surround mix.
The frequency balance is near perfect, her voice smooth and without bite.

The best part is whatever hammer mechanic mastered the CD should be shot.
The DR quashed to a disgraceful DR6!
But the the DVD, it's an awesome DR12!
(There is hope for us)

Is there a problem with perceived country music?

Oh yea for sure bro.
It just isn't kool to like C&W
Or let anyone know you like C&W
I LOVE IT right up there with Prog Rock & Blues, my other 2 favorites.
You have to just hate C&W to rate this beauty any lower than 8

It's also worth mentioning that her and her hubby Tim McGraw starred in the Paramount + series 1883. The best western I've enjoyed in a long time.

Recently revisiting some of my DVD-audio discs, I listened to this today. Unlike so many modern 5.1 releases this one makes good use of the rear surround channels. So surround wise it deserves a ten. I do like Faith Hill, she is a great "country" singer, this album however is more pop than country. Not her best work. Overall I'm voting eight.

I thought the Todd in the Shadows video about this album was pretty good.

I just checked out of curiosity, there's a brand new one on ebay for peanuts.
$15 or less plus $6 shipping !
