500 Club - QQ All-Star
Well I put in a cancellation request for my order with Nuclear Blast. I had some suspicions NB would screw this up, but Mikael and Opeth probably deserve just as much blame. I just don't get it: I've heard Mikael talk about surround mixes in previous interviews and he seems to be a fan and proponent for them. With SW having mixed three albums for Opeth (plus Storm Corrosion), he KNOWS what a good surround mix sounds like. He also has to know that a precedent has been set by his work with SW (and Soord, and Bogren), and that fans are going to expect that quality. And reading through comments on their facebook page, there were many comments and questions concerning the surround mix, and there seems to be a significant part of their fan base who enjoy the 5.1 mixes. Tucking the 5.1 away in an expensive deluxe edition, and then half-assing the mix (and DD ONLY!!), just seem like a giant middle finger to many dedicated fans.
Thanks for the heads-up on this Imachine.
