If you liked the minimalist style of the surround mix on Springsteen's Devils and Dust... you will LOVE this disc. As far as I can tell the only thing in the rears is the Hammond B-3 organ mostly playing light chords and an occasional bit (and I do mean bit) of reverb on a tambourine or other percussion. No vocals no guitar no nothin'! The organ is so low in the back the only way I could tell it even existed was to go in the car and send the fade all the way to the back speakers to tell what was there. There is no mix credit given anywhere on the disc, however, one of the video tracks (live in the studio) was mixed by Nick Didia.
The songs are typical Wallflower tunes... nothing eath shattering IMO. Nice songs but not a disc that I will probably listen to more than once or twice.
Extras include a live in the studio segment with the band playing a nice "One Headlight" and five other songs. All with interviews between the songs done by Jon Lovitz. The surround and stereo DVD-A mixes are both 48/24.
Incidentally, both Bruce and the Wallflowers are produced by Brendan O'Brien so that may be why the mixes sound similar.
If I was rating it I would give it about a 5 or 6. Mix alone gets a 2.
