Foo Fighters - Greatest Hits
Sadly, no big deal mix-wise. Again.

I could understand the difficulties involved with getting a band like this to sound good in Atmos, but this mix is about as low effort as it gets. They didn't even remotely try to make it an immersive or at the very least interesting experience. All the songs are basically (very compressed) stereo in the front speakers, with the lead vocal lifted a bit into the front heights and the rhythm guitars pushed out slightly towards the sides.

Geeze that sucks, I was excited for a minute.

Yep. This one falls FLAT, not much more then stereo with a tiny bit of reverb in the surrounds. Disappointment.

Compressed isn't even the word. Feels like they put a thick layer of fabric to dull the sound.

Surprising it didn’t make it to immersive Grammy. It really is a fantastic album both in stereo and Dolby Atmos

On Tidal, this compilation is in 360RA with a mix engineer credit to Steven Dewey. I don’t recognize the name.

Senior engineer at Sony Music, apparently also did Natasha Bedingfield's Unwritten according to a recent LinkedIn post of his.

Why they do this!
To get better fees and marketing on their playbacks and band? ambitious bastards!
