Weird I thought the bass was lacking
I'm rocking two Arendal subs that usually don't get much love from Atmos mixes, but this mix was a bit too much for me in the bass department.
It's funny/strange how we all have different experiences from the same mix.

I read someone in another forum who said that it sounded like they were going for a headphone mix and I think I agree with him.

I just listened with my Air Pod Pro 2’s. Same results, very diffuse, lacking the heft of the original. It does show off, in a BIG way, the ability of ATMOS to let you hear discrete musical elements all around you but it’s not very cohesive and doesn’t serve the music.
 
I just sampled 3 tracks from U2 on Tidal:

Way too much reverb in all the surround/top channels. Its not what I'd hoped for. Its nowhere near the best Atmos mixes around.
Agreed. Listened in 5.1. It's certainly not horrible, but a lot more would have been possible. Lots of echo (at least that suits the record) and the occasional isolated element in the surrounds. I'd give it a 5-6.
 
Hoping Alice In Chains Jar of Flies will be released this week in Atmos for anny!
Sadly, seems nowhere to be found. But we can take it out on the whale & wasp:

So it takes 17 months, 5 studios and 3 engineers to spoil the mix. [sigh]
100% with you on that.

This mix qualifies for “Silverline” status.
Wow - it just plain sucks on my home system.

While I agree with @Ephi82 that the "heft & power" is lost, I completely disagree that this is anything close to demo worthy. Maybe @benfolds5 can send me some of the bass he is getting on his system because it is completely lost on mine. Adam's thumping bass line in 'Ultra Violet' has been neutered :(.

On my system it almost seems that the backing vocals have overpowered Bono's main vocals. Like @HomerJAU indicated, they set reverb to 11 on all vocal parts. Man, that just drains all the grit and raw emotion present on Bono's vocals on the stereo mix.
