Oops...Forgot to mention that. I don't have Atmos capability on my system, so 5.1. I'm sure the mix opens up quite a bit in Atmos.
It's nice to know what format people listen to.
BTW, besides the sound quality I love the rubberized feel of the
outside of the slipcase, feels luxurious.

Right. Anyone else pissed off about the price of box sets? I was a sucker and bought the DSOTM set primarily to get the get the Atmos mix, only to have a stand-alone Blu-ray released. $200+ for Who's Next? I don't begrudge artists from making a living, but I don't want demos and shitty live recordings along with a picture book anymore.
I generally agree with you wholeheartedly.
Having said that, when it comes to the Who’s Next/Lifehouse box, the mold has been broken & the demos are worth the price of admission…really.
There is so much depth revealed in regard to the album we would come to know as the magnificent single disc “Who’s Next”…
Just wait & find a good price if you have any interest at all…
I paid less than $200 and am EXTREMELY pleased…
This box has more to offer than most…and they did not force me to order vinyl
No surprise that this is a great mix. My setup is a 5.1 one, so the Atmos goes through that. I normally listen to 5.1 first. Both sound great to me, and in particular those drums.
The music isn't for everybody. It's very mellow and RW isn't the best singer or lyricist. Still, it's easy to tell on more than a couple songs where his input was in Pink Floyd. His contributions are likely more than is commonly realized.
It came with a foldout of various pictures and some postcards. Nothing fancy, but I really don't care about that stuff as much as the mix. Better than nothing.
I think every person who considers themself even a moderate PF fan should probably add this to their collection. It's very chillaxing-- good for an afternoon nap. I suspect most of us on here have reached the Era of the Afternoon Nap more than a few years ago.
10/10

For now I am not going to cast a vote because I don't have Atmos, but it looks like most of the voters don't either. I'll still post my review, such as it is.
Anyways, if you're on the fence on this one, the 5.1 mix is worth the price alone. Rarely I have been so excited about a release and still have it surpass my expectations. Thank you Steve Wilson, and to Gala Wright for getting it going, and to Guy Pratt for recommending Wilson.
I haven't cast many tens, but if the Atmos is as good as the 5.1, it would hit that spot for me. Only other 10 I recall of was the Chicago Quadio set.

I gave this one a 9. The mix is as good as I think it will get. The material is very good, but not great which keeps it from being a 10. Glad I have it and glad it was released. Something I will certainly give a spin now and then.
An album that shows why Pink Floyd were not Floyd without the fragile soul of the band. All that lovely keyboard floydyness.
This always was a laidback album, piano and organ are classic melancholy Wright I love it. On then to the mix, it very much supports the album subtle backing vocals in the rears elegant use of all the speakers a mix very much out of the top draw. Let's have Broken China remixed as well. And if Mr Gilmour does not want his albums in surround how about the craziness of Nick Masons Ficticious Sports remixed

The reason why David Gilmour retired "Pink Floyd" and announced there could never be another Pink Floyd album after Richard died.
RIP Richard.

Really enjoying the mellow vibe of this album. It totally captures the Mediterranean ocean / Greek holiday vibe, an album I can totally melt into.
While I love the album as is, especially with the vocal tracks, it seems weird that the 4 vocal-less instrumental tracks are extras and they didn’t give an option to listen to the stereo album entirely as instrumentals

Slightly off topic, but does anyone have any insight about Broken China being remixed as well? I was hoping it would have been next, but zero news as of today

I’m going to assume you mean “Broken China”?
Sure I meant it! Post just edited, don't know what the hell I was thinking off in the morning. Thanks for the heads-up
Can't believe I forgot to vote in this poll last year as I pre-ordered the disc. Anyway,
9
Sounds good, but the music is a bit average.

The majority are landing on nine, myself included.
