HiRez Poll Thin Lizzy - 1976 (JAILBREAK & JOHNNY THE FOX) [Blu-Ray Audio (Dolby Atmos)]

[rtbluray]

Please post your thoughts and comments on this new release from Thin Lizzy entitled "1976".
This new release combines together both of Thin Lizzy's albums from 1976, "Jailbreak" and "Johnny the Fox".
Both albums have been remixed in Dolby Atmos and 5.1 surround by Richard Whittaker.
The Blu-Ray was available exclusively through the SDE online store, but there is also a 5 CD/Blu-Ray deluxe edition available as well.

I voted 7, 5 for the atmos and 9 for the music, no extras unlike the previous disc although two albums for the price of one is good value

I voted 6.

8 for the music.
5 for the 5.1/atmos
7 For the menu/overall disc navigation
No extras - which is a shame.

After a good thorough couple of listens I think 5 is a fair score for the mix. It's not very discrete, but the music is good and compared to my old CDs sounds much improved.

I'm glad I purchased it

Would love to get more info on the Atmos mix. I have a copy of the box on hold at my local brick-and-mortar, but I'm buying primarily for the surround mix. Given all the other purchases I've made recently, I'd be happy to save some cash if the surround is truly disappointing.

It’s not the worst atmos or surround you’ll ever hear, but it’s far from the best, as Bobby Martini says it’s worth having as it’s the best these albums have ever sounded

I don't have the disc yet as it's in transit. Listened to Jailbreak and Emerald on Apple Music, two of my favorite Thin Lizzy songs, and the mix is better than I feared. Not very good but quite alright, with all channels used and good use of the heights on several occasions. Looking forward to receiving the disc.
