I find the music pretty enjoyable throughout, although some songs are a bit bland for me. I tend to like "symphonic rock" and classical music, so "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" is a standout for me, as is "As Lights Fall" (which is a bit reminiscent of "Eye In The Sky") . The fidelity is decent... although the drums seem a bit muffled on some tracks (or maybe just too low in the mix?). The surround mix of the music is very discrete, as I would expect from Alan Parsons, but I'm not experiencing the sonic bliss I've experienced with some of his other surround mixes such as "Dark Side of the Moon", "Eye in The Sky", "Tales of Mystery...", or even the slightly less impressive "On Air". For most of the songs I find the vocals are too hot in the mix (especially on "Miracle" which is a great song made unfortunately unlistenable for me because of the loud vocal). The vocals sound pretty well balanced on "Fly To Me" and "Requiem", however, and I enjoy both tunes. I'm frustrated that such good content created and mixed by a master engineer isn't sounding so great to me, but I think I'm in the minority so it's probably worth taking a chance on. Content=2, fidelity=3, mix=1.5, and I'll give 0.5 bonus points for the price/package (an excellent value), so 7 overall.
