Finally got my new Denon AVR in (the correct one this time (y)) and set up, fixed my issues with my foobar2000 (which has been fubar for a while) and am now once again enjoying the fruits of my multichannel discs and files again!

Hows the Atmos sound?.
I played back this disc again today and compared the various surround options, I feel the ATMOS mix doesn’t have a lot of discrete instrument information In the height channels. It is not an adventurous mix for the most parts (other than the intro count in) but it does expand the sound field up and around you. The surround channels are used nearly all of the time with supporting instruments in the mix, but your attention is directed mainly towards the front.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m trying to describe the ATMOS mix. This disc sounds wonderful. The band is recorded and mixed beautifully. You are surrounded by the music Really the only thing I might criticize Is the low bass is mixed a little loudly for me on the drums but this is a great sounding disc.
 
I think I repeat what others have said.
The alternative bonus versions sound much better. Those rear percussion sounds and good voice mix in front!
As those versions are not very strong, it is the first time I have listened to a fairly high volume level. How good my system sounds with this album!!

The, what I think are, marimbas on this disc and particularly the alternate tracks make me want to here Security in surround.
