Listening to in Dolby Atmos Streaming, via Tidal/Apple/Amazon

Enjoying Rush's self titled debut in Dolby Atmos on Apple Music. One of my favorites by them. I really like the mix.

Me too. Today will check other new mixes.

In the middle of the day on Friday, Kendrick Lamar surprise released an album

At the start of the day on Monday, that album is now in Atmos

Harmony Holiday does a great...takedown? (I'm not sure. It's a biting critique, for sure, but from a place of deep love for the genre.)

Anyone notice that The Beatles 64 soundtrack for the Disney Streaming Debut on Friday is now available on Apple Music. But a strange issue I found. That soundtrack while including the 2023 versions of Beatles tracks released on the Red Album 2023 none of those are in Atmos. Of greater concern to be (hopefully temporary) Those 6 tracks - Please Please Me, I Saw Her Standing There. Twist And Shout, From Me To You, She Loves You and You Really Got A Hold of Me have all disappeared from being available on the Dolby Atmos 2023 Red Album. Also the Dolby Atmos banner on that album has also gone away. Anyone else notice this? Hopefully those Atmos mixes return soon!!

Restarted my Apple Music subscription to sample the new Rush mixes. I started with the debut and found that again Chycki has gone too heavy handed with the reverb, however it’s the outlier as I found the other 3 (for the most part, Cinderella Man excluded) mimic the sonic character of the original mixes, which is nice to hear. Not wildly discrete but I would say a much better treatment than his previous 5.1’s of 2112 and Hemispheres. I wonder if these will eventually come to blu-ray (in overbloated mega box sets, I’m sure!)

To me "Madrigal" was the one for which he went a bit too far with the reverb, although I think I've read a story somewhere about the recording of that song, and it was apparently in a room with a weird reverb or something. Not really sure, maybe I'm mixing up things.

The reverb on the first few tracks of the self titled Rush album bothered me a bit but I didn't have any issues with the rest of the album. I thought the other three albums are excellent, even without comparing them to the (crappy) 5.1 mixes.

My guess is you will like it. It was the first one I listened to of the new 4.

Tonight was my first full album listen. It rocks and is sufficiently immersive. Especially fun during the parts with extra layers, like the 2112 Overture intro.

I checked The Red Album and found that, as you said, tracks 2-6 and 11 are stereo-only, while the rest of the album remains in Atmos. While those early songs didn't have the greatest surround mixes (understandable, given the way they were recorded), it's still unfortunate, and mysterious. My first thought was that it was due to crossover from the Beatles 64 soundtrack that you mentioned, because sometimes on Apple Music the same tracks contained on different albums can "cross-pollinate" with each other, but several tracks that are shared by both of these albums remain in Atmos, such as I Want To Hold Your Hand, This Boy and Roll Over Beethoven. Weird, but such is the wonderful world of streaming: it giveth and it taketh away.
