Got my copy last week and agreed, although the Atmos mix clearly has extra umph in the bass department. It also anchors the main vocals firmly to the center channel in case folks like/dislike that type of placement.

Are there two separate titles for the two mixes, or is it a single title in which you can toggle between the two audio mixes?
What is the exact runtime of the album on the Blu-ray?

It's the latter.

Interestingly enough, Amazon reviews absolutely bash this one. I certainly trust you folks more than Amazon, but usually there isn't such a disparity. Curious.

I always take Amazon reviews with a healthy serving of salt.

I can't say I understood all that I read, but certainly appreciate all of the information on the various releases.

Needledrops don't tell you anything about the dynamic range of the vinyl master, I wish the DR database curator would allow a toggle. It's one of the biggest vinyl myths.
