Looks so exciting. And how nice are you, Mr Baggins, 'liking' my slightly whingey previous comment.

Intro to 5.1 Videos Playlist
I'll be uploading videos with 5.1 soundtracks to the Life in Surround YouTube channel.
Examples of mixes covered in reviews and just special stuff.

Pretty weak 5.1 mix. And Newsted's bass is only marginally more audible than in the original stereo mix, perhaps because Bob Ludwig was given the original mixes as an EQ reference for the 5.1.

Also: I recommend you set your playlist order to either "oldest first" or a custom order with the intro video as the first item. Currently, "One" plays first, then the intro.

Other “Justice for Jason” mixes tend to have the bass guitar mixed way too loud. This sounds about right, to my taste, for thrash.

As far as the strength of the mix goes, that’s fair. There’s only drums, bass, rhythm guitar, lead guitar and vocal, so I think this does reasonably for those, but still. Little surround wow.
The mixes on The Videos get more interesting as the songs get more elaborate, if memory serves. I feel like listening again soon, as a matter of fact!

Thanks for the advice about play order. I didn’t know about those controls. LiS needs a manager!

This is one I will have to hope they over produce. It needs to get down to 2 digits for me to consider biting.

I'm a 90's kid and those four albums; Weezer, Dirt, Vs. and RATM are favourites. I really need to get a streamer that supports Atmos as my 2017 Nvidia Shield can't seem to do it (I also only have 5.1).
