I'm glad you said this. I own the one for Gigaton on my AppleTV and really enjoyed it. I know the Atmos mix will be on disc 2 of the deluxe edition, but, nothing is mentioned of including a visual component on that one.

It's a Blu Ray, so it possibly includes the visuals.

I sure hope so. I have the latest Tears For Fears record on blu-ray and there are no visuals whatsoever, just a menu and the song titles while the song plays.
The new Porcupine Tree on blu-ray has each song as basically a background wallpaper with minimal movement.

FWIW, SDE in the UK makes no mention of a visual component in their listing. Doesn't mean it won't be there, but, it's not referenced, at least as of right now.

I'm hoping Apple makes it available as a complete package again.

two things i really love about the DM chorus (which I think is pretty great).

1. Eddie’s voice pushes out to fill the space without getting too screechy or flashy about it - leaning into his organic power quite successfully

2. the way he pushes himself right up to but not beyond his break point, so the few moments he goes over have more impact

this is a pretty great vocal performance start to finish, though

agreed

I too am compressed with this song’s chorus.

I meant impressed!

Yeah I love it. Specially the energy that comes from it

I like Eddie on both of these songs. These days I much prefer his shouting voice to his screaming voice.

I love that you're not even joking, yet it's the best assessment of what we're working with here

He's an old smoker, we're lucky he can sing at all

John Prine had half neck taken out, dialed back his singing to something manageable, and finished his career beautifully. Just sayin'.

I would definitely prefer dialed back Riot Act Eddie, but Gigaton/DM Ed is a big improvement over Avocado Ed.

truth

Gigaton, for the most part, sounded to me like Eddie sounds now, I think the positive thing there was more in the songwriting; he found ways to highlight the positive aspects of what his voice can deliver now. These new songs sound like he's moving farther outside of that space, so the results end up sounding like they've got a lot of polish on them (DM) or kind of confused, like the end of Running; I love what he's doing at the beginning of the track, where he sounds really locked in on the verses, but I don't know what he's going for at the end.

I'm with Trag on this about Ed's voice. Binaural and RA indicated that Ed's voice was going to age nicely but the screechy-ness is too much.

There are plenty of singers who have had to adapt their voices with age.
