    so far nobodys mentioned anything on how this will be universals first dolby atmos release...
    Im just trying to see how u take advantage of this.  5.1 system?  Two amazon studio echos?  I dont really know anything about it.  


    You're gonna need this

    Echo Studio - High-fidelity smart speaker with 3D audio and Alexa

    https://amzn.to/2RsHm5T
    I don’t understand this atmos stuff and I don’t want to read up on it eaither.  Someone please do the work for me and tell me about it
    Dolby Atmos is a new audio format for creating and playing back multichannel movie soundtracks. It was developed to give movie sound a more three-dimensional effect. Traditional 5.1- and 7.1-channel surround setups deliver captivating sound using speakers placed all around your room.

    Dolby Atmos utilizes the five or seven surround speakers as were mentioned previously, but also takes it a step further with additional speakers in the ceiling which are labeled as height speakers. ... When Dolby Atmos audio is created for a movie, it is designed on a computer in a 3D space which represents the room.

    ---

    I think, and I might be wrong, that you do not assign sounds to speakers but instead places sounds in a room wherever you want and the system solves what speakers it should be sent out too. Regardless of numbers of speakers etc.
    Like will there be an Atmos mix on CD or a HD DL, like the old 5.1 DVD mixes that some bands did a decade ago? Or is it something thats on every disc and DL and if you have an Atmos enabled system, it plays it properly.


    Tidal is now capable of playing Dolby Atmos
    The single version of DotC on Tidal sounds absolutely fantastic through headphones.
    Amazon Music has hd as well but I don't have a subscription

    Anyone else think that red line pulse thing on the cover looks incredibly naff? I get it the ice is melting/the world is dying but the image would have much better without the pulse thing -iimo

    Think it will be joining the 2020 list that PJ got on in 2006

    Not so much boring... more ‘crap’ or ‘tacky’.

    "...arguably the band’s strongest and most diverse work since 1998’s “Yield.”!

    Can't wait to listen to the whole thing!
    No dreaded 'ukulele' mentions! Thank Jeebus ...maybe someone finally took it away from Ed.

    I actually just got home from working this event... I'm a bartender at Neuehouse in LA. I had no idea it was happening until i get in today and about shit my pants when i realized what was happening today... the album is insane... It's really, really REALLY GOOD!! Ed was the only one from the band there and was introduced by the president of Republic records and then introduced Josh Evans. He was in great spirits and was drinking a lot of Tequila... haha. He walked around the room pouring shots for the guests as the record played. First impression is that it is their best since at least Avocado if not RIot act. I feel so lucky to be able to have heard it... and get paid to boot. Also seen Ed and his daughter in the back halls of Neuehouse afterwards heading out.
    Love hearing about this album thanks. 

    What kind of tequila though?!

    That article got me excited. Though I don't like Ed's falsetto-just too raspy for me. I'm fine with him doing it if I get to see Oceans live though haha.

    I was at the playback. Loved the album. Something for everyone.

    In my opinion best since Avocado at the very least. 

     What album does it "feel" the most like from the discography? If that is a question that can be answered.

    AND - does it feel like the album has one identity production wise (like Ten, Riot Act , Neil Youngs Harvest Moon etc)? Or a hodgepodge of songs and sounds like e.g. Lightning bolt?


    It has more of a Binaural vibe to me. More atmospheric and less poppy and ballady. No B'OB on this one and it flows really well.

    Ed going correctly....you make great margs with blanco but shoot Anejo.
    (Not that a good blanco can't be shipped/shot but this is where Anejo stands out)
    Ed knows his booze.  ;)

    Remember when people heard Sirens beforehand and said it was a new Black?
