Ummmmm Snood be no Pearl Jam Fan Boy - Only have an album or 2 and not one of me fave groups.
Went to watch a couple tracks to get a feel.......video is mainly scenic stuff and bubbly stuff, but there are a few that are pure music videos.
Mind you my listen was not Atmos and on my old Onkyo was in 5.1 DD.....never the less here we go
track 1 was like Ok this is nice and might work but nothing mind blowing.......Track 2 SuperBlood Wolf Moon was like hmmm some koo hints of surround perhaps.........At this point was about to go OK will finish this later this weekend.........Track 3 Dance of the Clairvoyents started and was like ummmm wow this is koo must listen more then track 4 Quick Escape and was like who mixed this? This is pretty good............sat through all the rest in one sitting and can definitely say this is no slouch and is pretty good mix. They did not mail this in.
Loved track 9 too Buckle Up in 5.1 was real good. 7 o clock was kooo tooooo
Overall the Album gets the faster Rocking songs out of the way quick beside a couple in the middle then gets a lot mellower.........Instead of Vitalogy this might be call Ecology....seems to be the theme and Snood is Koo wit dat.
The mellower stuff though does tend to work in a lot of great 5.1 stuff though - thought the end of Retrograde was well done as far as enveloping the listener at the end.
overall pretty Awesome from out of nowhere..........will definitely buy if it comes out in 5.1 Bluray for sure. Still might buy in Apple TV too
The only downside was that it was streaming - the HDR looked good, disc would be far better and thus the sound I had to turn up a bit more than usual, but I am sure a disc version might fix that, but no big deal on the volume. Thought some spots could have used more thumpy, meaning bass. That might just be the streaming sound though.
Look forward to a cd/bluray or just bluray release fingers crossed.
Atmos people Me thinks will really enjoy this.............in 5.1 it is really good. Don't want to go overboard will listen again tonight or this weekend and maybe give it a really really good
It’s a subtle mix - but sounds alright. Defo discrete at least... The visuals look great!
