Which ones are hits in your opinion? Why not do a review of all the Silverlines on your channel
Could be an interesting video, at some point? There is a thread around here on the Silverline hits and misses. That's probably the place to start.
No. It's a great mix, but the LP is QS, not SQ.
I know that many will disagree but my choice of surround album to avoid is "Roxy Music". Everything that I love about the stereo mix is buried in the surround mix. I wanted to love it, I forced myself to listen to it a number of different times and my opinion didn't change. Lack of punch is an understatement.
Wow, that’s fascinating! I haven’t listened to it yet, and not being super familiar with the stereo mix I wonder how it’ll hit me... but I know that feeling you’re describing, for sure. Been there!
I need to get that one queued up soon...

my favourite Rush album - Moving Pictures
I waited a long time for this to be released in 5.1
what a disappointment

Disappointing, yes. But to be avoided? I'm still glad to have it, despite it being such a lost opportunity.
Which Roxy Music album are you referring to? Certainly not Avalon as that is one of the best 5.1 surround mixes I have ever heard IMHO.

What's this **it? PLANETEN **IT-IN? Unbelievable.
May be a kind of quite "special humor".

Opeth - Sorceress - DVD-V: Worst surround mix I've ever heard. AC3 and something on surround, center, lfe I can't distinguish from the front speakers. And the incredible bad sounding dolby digital. This mix must be an accident. It's probably an upmix.
Made a penteo upmix from CD that is 100 times better. Album itself is good.
Santana - Abraxas - DTS-CD: 2nd worst so far for me. Guitar sound is often so bad. I don't like the mix. But a great album as well.

I think there's two very different threads running alongside eachother here, and I think some clarity would be helpful. There's "surround mixes which are so bad they're worse than the CD," and there's "surround mixes that aren't all they could have been." I personally think this thread has been more the latter, especially with people saying "I love X album but the surround mix wasn't all I'd hoped for." I think Moving Pictures is a great example - it's a competent surround mix that opens things up nicely. It isn't all it could be but as a casual Rush fan I'm glad to have it.

Self titled "Roxy Music"

The "music" and stereo mix is excellent - The surround version isnt very good
The price of the second hand blu-ray/dvd doesnt merrit the purchase price - hence avoid
"...isn't very good" really misses the point of this thread.

One of my top 3 SW mixes...
But were you familiar with the stereo mix beforehand?
