The 5.1 mix is pretty good. I love the studio tracks. Glad that I bought it.

I won't rate this, as I've listened on Tidal, but this is a wonderful mix and the new songs are excellent. I had my suspicions the new songs would be Tipping Point outtakes (as I fear the extra tracks will be on the Duran Duran reissue, based on listening to Evil Woman), but this is most certainly not the case. If I owned a physical copy, I'd be giving this a hearty ten.

I agree with you. I've been listening on Apple Music while I wait for my disc to arrive. Very good mix and the music speaks for itself.

I cannot rate the Atmos mix but the 5.1 is absolutely WONDERFUL. New studio songs are very good and the rest of the show is great. Great content, great music, greatly mixed by Mr. Steven Wilson in person. It's a 9 for me.

What's not to LOVE about Tears For Fears exclusive SDE release SONGS FOR A NERVOUS PLANET! 22 glorious tracks mixed into Dolby ATMOS, DTS~HD MA 5.1 and yes, STEREO by the master himself, Steve Wilson.

The boys are in fine control of their vocals, the arrangements impeccable and the sound is tactile and wholly immersive.

A 10 on the richter scale!

I voted 9. If The Tipping Point in Atmos didn't exist I might put it at a 10. But it doesn't quite match the previous release. Mainly because, in my opinion, the live material doesn't have the mixing potential of the studio stuff. Still, a STELLAR disc and definitely worth listening to! Really liked the new songs and hope this means we see another album soon.

Well, two out of the four songs basically are - "Astronaut" is a track from the very first phase prior to the speed dating era and "The Girl That I Call Home" is based on a backing track from the speed dating era. "Landlocked" is also over a decade old but that track sadly didn't make the BD despite Paul's efforts.

hope this means we see another album soon

Roland did indicate that here.
