I gave it a ten. Authored well. Navigation is easy. Sounds great. Loads of content. Nice animated menus. Mr Penny did a great job on this one. Highly recommended.

Good listening, but a long sit of 3.40 hours of Elton's music. Very rich sounded mix in Atmos for this type of music. Sounds better as I expected, and even better then some mixes from recent produced music. Paul hats off for this pearl in your and our collection.

An easy 10 from me.

The mixes are outstanding, the content plentiful and navigating all of the songs on the fly is super easy.

Fantastic.

I've listened all the way through, twice now.
This is an exceptional release of Elton's songs.
The Dolby Atmos mix by Greg Penny is to die for.
I've said before that this release is total Class.

So much love, care and attention to detail has gone into the making of Diamonds that it can only be worthy of the highest accolade I can give it.

So the score is infinity and beyond.

A PERFECT 10 if ever there was one. The Bitch is BACK, alright, in splendiferous Dolby ATMOS and as he made a live appearance on the Golden Globe Awards last night looking better than ever and joking about his latest malady [partial blindness] he will forever be in our minds and hearts as his musical journey continues.

Superb in every way! Easy 10 for me

Just got this release. Very nice to have but I think I prefer Penny’s 5.1 mixes from all the mid-aught SACDs / DVD-A (for GYBR) which sound much more discrete IMHO. But now I have even more Elton John music in surround, and the ATMOS mixes make for a very consistent listening experience across all the Diamond Tracks! A win!

Mine just arrived today. Haven't had a chance to play it yet; waiting until I can blast it at an appropriate volume.

Some of the songs are very tame in terms of their 12 channel surround mix, IMHO. And I sure wish Funeral For a Friend was included - if ever an Elton John track would be sublime in Atmos, that is one for the ages.

I dont have my Diamonds copy yet but I totally agree . Fortunately I have that on 5.1 SACD.
