Picked up the new 5.1 DVD-A Release of Porcupine Tree's "In Absentia"

[x_OPETH_x]

yeah, they had it at Best Buy for like 14 bucks, i figured "what the hell".

it sounds AMAZING....there's new sounds and vocal lines added in there too.
I knew it had been released, but i hadn't been able to track one down till now.

Anyone else own this? I think it's an interesting collector's piece...there's music videos, lyrics, and photos thrown in there too.

BTW Opeth rocks

and don't tell me this isn't opeth related. They're thinking about doing the same thing to Still Life, and everyone knows PT and Opeth are becoming intertwined.

do you have to listen on a dvd player? i think listening to an album on a dvd player is pretty annoying.

 

[Bored]

i agree... .. i bet u do have to hear it in a dvd player..
fuck

 

[Lethal01]

Ehm, since you need a surround system to enjoy the release, I dont see how you can complain about having to listen to it in a dvd player?

Good stuff.

I don't want to listen to an album through my television, I don't even like stereos...i'm a blast metal into my ears at top volume and will be death by age 30 type of listener. \m/

that's why you get a nice 5.1 setup in your car, with a DVD-A capable decoder, and a 5 channel amp that supports up to a 96khz/24bit sample rate

btw, i'm dreaming. The setup in my car sucks right now, compared to my old car.

pimping out a car is so not metal.

headphones. yes, headphones are metal. especially shitty loud ones

I'd get it as In Absentia is one of my favourite albums, but have no surround sound system. I envy u guys

I'm going to go for some studio monitors for my PC, so I won't be able to appreciate the finer points of 5.1 remixes (ie the actual surround aspect of it ).
