Is the 5.1 Mix worth to buy?
I've given the surround mix a few listens now. It's okay but it's not fantastic, in my view, because there is just so much going on that it is difficult to pick out the nuances.
SH/Roger King's production style for the last few albums has been to overlay dozens of tracks for every song which makes everything sound so bloody complicated!
For me, the best 5.1 mixes are for music that is a bit more stripped back and has more 'space' for the main instruments to stand out. Consequently, I find this 5.1 mix quite tiring to listen to.
Just my personal thoughts though. Other interpretations are allowed
