New Dolby Atmos BluRay discs from Rhino

The Alanis DVD-A was brickwalled, is this version as well? Hi-rez audio ruined by compression, what is the point?

When the poll comes out, if it hasn’t already, I’m going to say that I found the Atmos version of this album very listenable compared to the CD. Can’t tell you about how it compares to the DVD-A, however.

I've no way to measure this release but the 24/192 version on HDtracks is fine.

Subjectively this Atmos version sounds great to me.

The Alanis DVD-A was "Under Rug Swept", not "Jagged Little Pill". It didn't have good reviews so I've never picked it up.

The stereo stream on the Blu Ray is slightly more dynamic than the original CD release.

The album was digitally recorded on the original 1991 black face ADATs from Alesis, which could not offer the sample rates and higher resolution we have now. You're still getting a great sounding mix.

This article from High Fidelity magazine explains the recording process for the album.

I stand corrected, both have sort of similar names and cover art and were released around the same time. Nice if this release is free of that awful brickwalling. Yes "Under Rug Swept" while a good album was not a good surround mix, I see that I only gave it a five!

Bugger... Mine haven't!

Yea tracking was DHL, looked at it this morning and it said "Out for delivery" a DHL van arrived in my road delivering to a neighbour, I asked if he had anything for me, he said no. So hours later a car pulls up outside and the package was posted in my letterbox. I hope yours arrives soon.
Alanis Morissette is a good mix, still got a screechy voice though. only a few songs into the Hootie, it's an OK mix much better sounding than the 2001 DVD thankfully.

Mine was in a Hermes bag too. It's their, ahem, workaround.
I'm sure yours will eventually show up.

Thats my conclusion as well, and long may they continue to use the smaller Hermes to deliver

Well quite apparently, Dunc, ants are more hard working and industrious than Hermes delivery service!

Ants are more hard working and industrious than humans, period.
