I find "Straight Back" to be the highlight of the 5.1 mixes — but the bass on that is massive (and rocking.) I do hate that "Book of Love" "Gypsy" and "Cant go back" have such thin bass in their mixes. (But I adore the weirdness that is discovered in the "Only over You" 5.1 mix: tons of marching snare drum, gongs, bizarre percussion & especially Lindsey's Big-Love-Style "ahhs")

Nice breakdown. My sentiments exactly.
I was listening to the Tusk 5.1 last night and it's really done well. Maybe not as many surprises, but very consistent.
