Just listened to the 5.1 mix, and it blew my mind. If someone would have said to me that Opeth re-recorded the whole album I would've believed it. It really sounds that different. I'll spend many, many hours listening to this. Congrats to Jens Bogren, this is a million times better than the surround mix for Ghost Reveries, right up there with Porcupine Tree's In Absentia when it comes to 5.1-awesomeness ... The packaging is great too, my only complaint would be that the live video of Face of Melinda is only in 2.0, but I'll forget about that as soon as the Roundhouse Tapes DVD is released ... = )
Thanks Mike and Opeth for releasing this, now go give My arms, your hearse the same treatment! = )
