Those things (although I’m not exactly sure what “poor quality multis” is).

Plus sometimes the multis may not even be available. And perhaps most importantly, good mixing is time and money - particularly with stuff originally recorded to analog tape in the pre-digital era. The return on doing a quality surround mix on a vintage album probably isn’t as good as we like to think it is.
I meant lousy recording engineering when the multis were recorded. it’s hard to get a great ATMOS MIX if the source tracks are distorted, overly compressed, bad eq etc…for example, it’s clear that the Elton John stuff was originally recorded very very well and that was leverage pd for great surround and ATMOS mixes

Great album and good mix! Unfortunately in Tidal I have to turn up the volume to hell to listen to it at a descent level 😒 I wish we could have a physical release!

Last night I went on Tidal and listened to the Rust In Peace- Megadeth, I loaded the super deluxe stereo and the Dolby Atmos.
I much prefer the stereo in this situation, I felt the Atmos was flat and lifeless.
I wonder if the super deluxe you were listening to on Tidal is the original stereo mix or the remix, I know the original mix just recently became available on Spotify.

If it’s the original mix I do agree that mix is superior, but did you not like the swirling guitar “battle” between Friedman and Mustaine at the end of Hangar 18? How about the laugh at the beginning of Lucretia? I’ve listened to this album for many years and I thought the Atmos was a fun new experience!
 
Listening to Megadeth's We'll Be Back from The Sick And Dying in Dolby Atmos. I like it, all 4 heights, front and surrounds, going off.
Center channel basically non existent.

You think this sounds better than Rust?

Does the Atmos mix sound flat and lifeless? I think it sounds very rich and full. I can't imagine going back to the stereo mix and front only presentation.

It did sound a little off the first time I listened to it but the tip from @edisonbaggins to crank the sucker really made the drums come alive. I’d really like to hear this one on disc to see what difference it would make.
