No. But having crap come from 9 speakers isn't gonna make it any better than having crap come from 2.
I listened to it for the first time today. It will be the last! This is a huge pile of <bleep>, he's trashed his legacy. These are not "the deeds of a man in his prime". A friend who is a Water's fanatic said he'd never listen to it again, and said that the gig he went to was possibly worse! I'd rather listen to the Final Cut on auto repeat.
I had a moment of madness when I ordered it as I got the LP&CD, as the unrelated lock down sessions sounded good. So I've got a coaster & once I've bent the LP into shape a bowl or a Frisbee.

His next album should be called:
"Shut Up 'n Play Yer VCS3"

+1 for its crap. Atmos can't put a shine on this turd.
"Quadrophenia" is a stone-cold masterpiece, and as Townshend himself asserts, "it was our last great album." I have very mixed feelings on Roger, given what an abrasive crank he's become, but I gotta honor his important, ESSENTIAL contribution to Floyd's body of work through "The Wall." He was getting aggressively hostile on "The Wall," and he tipped into full spite afterwards. I have zero patience for his post-Floyd output, he's just turned into a bug-eyed kook who I'd cross the street to avoid.
IMO Dave Gilmour's first solo LP & second, "About Face" were OUTSTANDING & picked up the true spirit and presence of the band.
From SDE's 2025 preview:
Roger Waters will revisit his ‘Redux’ version of The Dark Side of the Moon with a box set edition that will include a Dolby Atmos Mix and a live performance of the reworked album.

As if listening to it once in stereo wasnt enough torture.
Nothing like releasing something that no one has asked for. I bought the cd and couldn't even listen to it once. Total crap.
Hang on guys. How much money are they offering to take a box?
Still not worth it!
The box will take up precious space on the shelf.
So youre good with 3 or 4 minute singles then?I will no longer devote even 5 minutes listening to anything new from Waters.
He really has gone mad! I tortured myself by listening to the end of the Redux album, I kept wondering if it would get better, it never did, dire sh*te, it will never be played again.
Is the box set a new form of vanity publishing?
I will listen if it turns up on Tidal.
It reminds me a little of those old novelty songs like Dingaling, but this is a whole album ... Waters Dingalinging all over PF's greatest achievement.

I made a snarky comment a few posts back, and it was just for fun. The truth is 90% of what Waters has produced musically is pleasing to me. He is in fact one of my favorite musicians.
That said, I've had trouble appreciating the Redux. It's a creative statement for him, and I can respect that, but I didn't buy it. YouTube once was enough for me. I will say that in my mind Redux does nothing to harm the original DSOTM. It still exists in its many forms - 1973 classic, quad, Atmos, live... Take your pick.
I see Redux as an attempt to reclaim the piece with an association to his name, rather than purely a Pink Floyd production. Respect it or not, I'm satisfied with that conclusion.
I could be wrong, but I'm not sure it matters. Not to me anyway.
I seem to be about the only one that didn't completely hate redux, possibly because I'm only lukewarm on the original DSotM anyways. I might go in for a disc, assuming the price is good. Like ~$15 or so, definitely no box set for this one.

They should put out a vinyl single with Roger's redux of Money on one side and Dave's solo re-recording of Money from Dance Songs (remember that?) on the other.

Listened to this last year. I won't listen to it again, not even in Atmos.
All the magic is gone. All the seventies' flair. All emotions faded...
What did he do with my all-time-favorite???
Waters' last good studio record was Amused to Death. This one I would buy a second time as Blu-Ray when it contains a lossless Atmos-Mix. The 5.1 is good.
I've seen the "In The Flesh" tour and watched the DVD several times. But what he did later was never as good as those records.
