"Straight Back" and "Eyes" are true highlights! (And "Hold me" suffers from the same mixing issue as the first half) It's a shame... because when the album sounds good, it's dreamlike. When the mix is bad, it sounds like you forgot to plug in one of your speakers.
Agree with that except for Gypsy. I actually prefer the 5.1 mix over the stereo version now. The intro with all of the swirling reverb adds a lot of ambience that I personally enjoy. Much of the rest of the album does sound lacking though. It's like it needed some of the holes filled.
