Refused? Please elaborate; I have never heard of that one.
Refused - The Shape of Punk to Come. It was mentioned in the article linked at the bottom of page 3

I have added this to my Amazon basket; what do you think of the 5.1 mix?

I just sampled the album on youtube to see if it was metal or not. I haven't heard the 5.1
Everybody needs to check this one out!!!!

Prog metal. Insane! Absolutely steller 5.1 mixes, as good as anything Steven Wilson as ever done. Shame it is just DD. The music is dream theater meets opeth meets steven wilson meets symphony X. Brilliant musicianship. I would pay £20 for a lossless version of this album.

So good to read this. I really like this album, but didn't know about the surround mix. I need to check it out!
By the way, there's another album in a similar style with a (very good) 5.1 mix. The Ocean - Pelagial. Another fine piece of forward-thinking metal, I like it even better than BTBAM's album. I've been a long time fan of this band, and this release may be their best yet. It's an interesting concept. 53 min of non-stopping music that pretends to be a trip from the sea's surface to the deepest abyss, and at the same time an allegory of the human psyque. So the first tracks are light, soft and airy, and it gradually becomes heavier and darker, almost suffocating, towards the end of the album.
Looking pretentious already? Well, there's more to come. The band decided to create a film for the whole album, like a 53 min videoclip, and the soundtrack it's... a 5.1 DTS mix of the album itself . It's mixed by Jens Bogren. Yeah, we know this man released some poor mixes in the past but he has drastically improved. It's very, very good, easily his best yet and I'd say close to Steven Wilson excellence.
The album was originally conceived to be instrumental, and that's the version used for the surround mix. But later they decided to add some vocals as well. So the edition comes with 2 CD (one with vocals and another without them) and the DVD with the film and surround mix. It's expensive, but I think it's worth it. Looks like this:

This was my favourite album of 2013. I thought Steven Wilson's "The Raven..." was perfect until I heard Pelagial that year

I presume the ocean DTS DVD is compressed to hell? He tends to compress the hell out of the fronts.
I was very surprised to prove it's less compressed than his other mixes. It's really crankeable! Nice dynamics and the volume is not higher than the latest Opeth album or SW's The Raven, just to show a quick comparison.
The CD is a lot louder, though. But who cares? As I only use the CD for the car, it might even be better this way.
