Has anyone streamed the album on VEEPS? When streaming from my MacBook, the stereo and 5.1 mixes are missing many layers of sound and instrumentation. The only mix that sounds correct is the Dolby Atmos mix. With the neutered mixes on VEEPS and MP3 files circulating the internet, I wonder how many listeners/reviewers are hearing the incorrect audio mix. I've heard both mixes and the difference is night and day. I heard the incorrect mix on my first listen and was very disappointed in the album. After I heard the correct mix, I LOVED the album.
 
A lunar eclipse is scheduled to start around midnight tonight across Ontario, Canada. During the eclipse the moon will turn blood red.

Weird coincidence considering the new album’s subject matter and artwork!

Sounds like a great night to sit outside and listen to Steven’s new record! And as I was typing this I received a shipping notice for my boxset!

My boxset arrived yesterday. Surprisingly quickly, given I am in Melbs, Oz. I will play tonight, when it is just me and the dog home.
The quite large book is mostly pictures, with lyrics scattered here and there. The pic of Wilson with his family integrated into the artwork feels a little odd and for me intrudes on the overall theme of the artwork, making it suddenly about him, not 'the overview' (but his prerogative to include it, I guess).

Next stop ... the music.
