He’s spoken positively about both AMLOR and The Division Bell on The Album Years?

That's interesting. I haven't kept up with the podcast (I hate podcasts in general) but I know he said things like how early Porcupine Tree was him making the kind of music he would've liked from PF at that point. Maybe he's softened a bit with age.

It's amazing how tastes differ. Some things I listen to and don't like but I can understand what people see in it. But Animals I listen to and there's nothing to like or dislike, it's just a total non entity and waste of space to me. Odd.

I get it. 15% of the albums people here rave about do absolutely nothing for me so it’s not that odd. There are a lot of factors besides what’s between the grooves that determine whether someone likes a song or not.

it is amazing.
Animals is my favorite - Dave’s angry guitar work.
And Final Cut comes in at #2 - I am blown away by the lyrical imagery.

I'm with ya. Animals and The Final Cut are my two faves.

More info on SDE and it says SW remixed the extra songs CWTAE AND SOS in Atmos but they didn’t include them!! I smell a SDE exclusive edition coming out eventually.

The Good/Bad news is we are getting them in Atmos… on streaming.

From the Spatial Audio Database (Ben Dodson) scan of the album, these tracks on two “discs”* shows both getting Atmos mixes.

*Not sure if this functionality is on the Apple TV version of Apple Music yet, but a recent iOS update changed how “discs” work in Apple Music. Now when you tap the header text that says “Disc 1” or “Disc 6” or whatever you can play *just* that disc, and it will stop after. So if you’re listening to a big multi disc release and want to take it part by part, now you can.

I don't mind missing out on another version of Careful With That Axe, Eugene!
