I picked this one up mostly on the strength of the Bill Schnee mixing credit (he did the amazing '70s quad mix of Art Garfunkel's Breakaway). I can't disagree with what's been said upthread, the fidelity is excellent and the music itself is something of an acquired taste. The 5.1 mix is what I'd call 'big stereo' - there's a number of elements (lead vocal, drums & bass) exclusively in the front speakers and a few positioned between front & rear (strings, horns), but nothing exclusively in the rear speakers. Overall, this is "6" or "7" territory for me.
