"The Dolby Atmos version can be seen as a spatial extension of the 5.1 mix, featuring a more contemporary tonal balance and a more evenly distributed soundstage. However, as with the 5.1 version, it lacks the originality and boldness of the 4.0 mix. It is a pity that this version was not drawn upon more extensively as inspiration for this new Dolby Atmos mix." Full review...

"Wish You Were Here" is the ninth studio album by the English rock band Pink Floyd, released on 12 September 1975 through Harvest Records in the United Kingdom and a day later in the United States through Columbia Records, as the band's first album for the label. Based on material composed while performing in Europe, "Wish You Were Here" was recorded over numerous sessions throughout 1975 at EMI Studios in London.
"Wish You Were Here" topped charts in several countries, including the UK Albums Chart and US Billboard 200. It was certified gold in the UK and US in its year of release, and by 2004, it had sold an estimated 13 million copies worldwide. Upon release, it received mixed reviews from critics, who found its music "uninspiring" and "inferior" to the group's previous work. However, it has later been acclaimed as one of the greatest albums of the 1970s and of all time, with Rolling Stone ranking it number 264 in their 2020 revision of their "500 Greatest Albums of All Time" list.
