„When the Dolby Atmos version was first released for streaming over two years ago, the conclusion was clear: only a lossless Dolby TrueHD version on Blu-ray could truly capture the full finesse of this album in Atmos. That has now been achieved, and this Blu-ray edition in Dolby Atmos delivers on all fronts. The mix is the same, but it now benefits from the full richness and detail that Dolby TrueHD offers. The improvement is also noticeable in the spatialization, which is more precise than in the lossy Dolby Digital Plus version. This is the real highlight of the 40th anniversary release unfortunately available only as a limited edition through SDE! Full review…”
