damn it. this is exactly what I didn't want. There should be one definitive version and then you're done!

We still make records to be listened to — not that everyone will listen to a record track one to twelve in a row or side A or Side B — but we still make 'em in case somebody does want to listen to it like that, that's how we make em…

Well done Pearl Jam - that is a feat worth more than anything else!
Yeah, even the harshest of skeptics are feeling the mojo... love it. There are 1 or 2 more of our hard-hearted comrades I'm waiting to hear from. Not holding my breath though.
Jorge hasn't chimed in and I am eager to hear from Kevin Davis (and I think Digster and Brett haven't weighed in, but I may have missed them)

And thank god it does because the next journey that ends with Got to Give and Setting Sun is dramatic as hell!

Aw, I appreciate being on your list, buddy. I've got the CD coming today and I'm going to take the first opportunity I have for a proper sit-down/no-distractions listen, which should be this weekend at the latest. That's a small pleasure I miss from the pre-internet days and who knows how many more opportunities there will be to do it with a PJ record, so I want to savor it this time around. The only songs I've heard in full so far are "Dark Matter" which I like and "Wreckage" which I really like, and that coupled with everyone's enthusiasm (sans production gripes, which I'm mentally prepared for) has me really excited.

And Got to Give has really grown on me. That Daltryesque delivery of “you and me can take on anyone” is such a fucking delight.
I never knew it until recently, but I've been waiting my entire life as a runner for a Pearl Jam song called "Running" that actually has a beat that you can run to.
Alas, I'm experiencing my first headphone listen with this thing with Octonauts on as a backdrop while folding my kiddo's clothes.
This should be the music video for Something Special.

What setting in the dolby atmos drop-down box found in the app settings is it set to, fattie?
If you have airpods, make sure it's set to automatic.
Also, please touch and hold the volume control in Control Center and tell me what it says...thanks
I’m not sure. I don’t see those settings; I’m on my phone. It’s the Apple Music app. I don’t see the volume control center either; just the volume gauge. Maybe that’s a desktop version thing?
I’m about to board a plane but I’ll check it out more later! See you on page 734 when I land!

i ordered the josh evans mix, have spotify, and just bought the album on itunes before oneway could warn me atmos was subscription only.
I want to upgrade and there are too many choices! where should i purchase or subscribe!
You should be able to find a free trial for Apple Music or even Amazon Music and listen to the Atmos mix that way. I’m curious to know how the deluxe cd/Blu-ray sounds. Still waiting for that and my vinyl to arrive.
