Same here, been listening to it on Spotify and I think it's actually pretty cool. Without the 5.1 mix, I definitely wouldn't have bothered, but it's certainly on my shopping list now.
Well,my reason for not supporting this is that I don't like the music.
..mainly because so little of my default kind of music listening was coming out in surround
So what was your "default kind of music" back then?
acid, house, death metal and rap..
ha! only joking!
just your typical classic Rock & pop, a lot of pre 2000's Soul and R&B, general 70's/80's/90's stuff you used to get on the radio 24/7.. pretty standard meat & potatoes fare you could call it, really nothing special and not a great deal of it ever made it out in MultiCh really, so it came time to jump off that diving board head first and make a surround splash...!!!
WOOOSH..!!
Coldplay here we come! :yikes
That's the QQ way of having an open mind and broadening your listening habits. If it wasn't for my addiction to everything that is high def and surround sound music, I would have never heard Porcupine Tree, Alison Krauss, The Flaming Lips, and so many other great artists who have sacd and dvd-audio releases!
Did you hear the Keane surround mix rejigged, Kap..??
That's a big time improvement imho!
Meantime.. come on QQ.. one of you guys round here must have tried out this Coldplay 5.1 by now..!!!???
Yours impatiently,

Pardon me, Jon, but ......
I get it. Actually, I'm getting it! It's ordered and on the way (allegedly). I am more annoyed at the whole Grammy thing than anything else. The Grammy's are a croc, sure, but to use them to get an award by creating a surround mix and then beating out Steven Wilson or another creator that actually made the mix for the joy of listening is what ticks me off.
That's all. I am not saying I am not happy it's out there.
Why would you get a faster shipment from the UK to Canada than from the US to Canada? Does Canada delay the delivery from the US somehow?Pulled the trigger to Canada from Amazon UK, should represent the quickest way of getting this.
CDN$27 approximately shipped, would have been around $24CDN from Import CDs to Canada so I'll bit the extra couple bucks to ensure timely delivery and in stock status.
Pardon me, Jon, but I don't think the Grammys should stop us from buying or enjoying this release. Even if it was done for the wrong reasons, who cares?! It's still great! This is what we have all been clamoring for! This is a great surround sound mix (released in high-resolution) by a very popular artist that has the ability to shift a lot of units.
We support a lot of flawed releases. Some are too expensive. Some are released in the worst possible format (DVD-V). Some have terrible mixes, and even if the mixes are good, sometimes the music is too terrible to bear!
Well this is a release that does everything extremely well, and anyone who doesn't support this release for the wrong reasons is doing a terrible disservice to everything we stand for!

While I have been aware of Coldplay for a quite a while and had heard some bits and pieces over the years as I would read some positive things about them but nothing I ever listened to jelled musically with me and always seemed sort of "meh" to me. I just listened to the whole "A Head Full of Dreams" album (streamed on Amazon) and if possible, for me, this, musically, is even more "meh" to me (sort of second tier U2ish stuff). Musically this is for me, is everything that I find wrong with modern popular music...boring unimaginative go nowhere unenjoyable drivel (sort of made my brain hurt a little bit when I listened to it), maybe not as bad as a Bieber, but for me...not...much...better, oh well C'est la vie. Apologies to those of you that like the Coldplay...but not so much for the Bieberists.
Well, it looks like one upside of this title's disappearance and reappearance is that all the different retailers have lowered their price:
ImportCDs: $13.26
Bull Moose: $14.97
Deep Discount: $15.85
Amazon U.S. has it listed again but with no price.
