Performance: Sonics:
Stunning fidelity. It sounds great from that perspective. The 5.1 mix is very disappointing. I thought things were going to be fantastic. The 5.1 mix of track 1 is great and if the rest of the album would have maintained this standard this would have been a must-buy album. Unfortunately it doesn't. Where did the mix go? After that wonderful opening we are presented with mainly ambient sounds in the rears - the expanded stereo effect is now in play. And how in the heck did this win the Grammy for best multichannel recording?
