Thanks for the info! As I don't stream, I'm hoping for a SDE release down the road.

Wow wow this is great. Supergrass' third album was the first one I bought for what was my fancy brand new minidisc
I played the hell out of that album. The Supergrass catalogue in surround would really be a dream come true.
Just heard part of their single "The Narcissist" and I'm probably not gonna even listen to the album. The band just sound... tired.

Mine too! Slightly miffed that this bluray ended up on Amazon too, for £10 less incl postage, but c'est la vie.
Not bad, ordering from Juno UK to Canada right now as they have it in stock and the total shipped comes to £21.82
The postman walked straight past, delivered nothing
I checked the tracking which tells me it's in their Home Counties North facility, after a quick Google I find that that's in Hemel Hempsted Hertfordshire 207 miles away from me.

This morning I listened to the entire album on Tidal. A very pop record. I think surround listening will be nice

My bluray arrived at home this morning. Hopefully I'll get a chance to listen to tonight. Fingers crossed the surround mix is fine. This was one that I was worried about, as there isn't a dedicated surround mix, so the 5.1 is a fold down from the Atmos, which doesn't always sound great with these SDE discs.
Had a quick flick through the Dolby Atmos mix before work. There seemed to be very little, if anything, coming from the ear-level rear channels from what I've heard so far. Sides and all heights were active though. Will check it out in more detail later.
Thanks for the tip - best price I’ve seen with shipping to US - ordered!
I am listening to the album right now through AppleTV though mixed down to 5.1. While the surrounds are active, there doesn't appear to be much going on aside from some slight reverb and much attenuated backing vocals on certain tracks. I like the album, though it is depressing music, as I like it.

I'm having my first listen now, in Atmos folded down to TrueHD 5.1. (don't have Atmos).
First thoughts - nice songs, but boy is it quiet! I have my Denon turned up to 62, which is unthinkable for me (especially on a Saturday morning, when my wife is still asleep upstairs) and it is still quiet. It sounds nice though, and I am getting keyboards, guitar, backing vocals from the rears.

No such problems with the volume to me, aside from the lack of significant activity in surrounds.
DialNorm encoded to -19 on the TrueHD/Atmos stream, so the level drops 12 dB on playback
Does anyone check these things? Fortunately they seem to have lowered the stereo mix by the same amount, so you don't get blasted when switching streams.
I had ordered this, but after listening to the two tracks up on Apple Music, I canceled. The Atmos mix is a joke.
FYI: Ripping now Atmos and stereo, no issues.
