The Social Network (2010)

[spahn]

Just starting the obligatory thread to discuss this masterpiece of a soundtrack.
Let's hear it for Trent and Atticus...wooooo, they're good!

[bgalbraith]

Woo! I really enjoyed their rendition of In the Hall of the Mountain King. The original is fun by itself, and their version adds an edgy digital era feel.

[Garebear]

They were spot on. A movie about Facebook really can't be that dark, but Fincher, Reznor, and Atticus found a way. Perfect score and great flick.

[laci]

I'd like to buy the soundtrack BD. Can someone upload some scans here? I'd really like to see the package. Thanks in advance!

[konstantin]

The Social Network BD (not the soundtrack BD) for $.9.99 at Amazon as part of Black Friday Sale: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0034G4P7Q/ref=s9_ds_bw_g74_ir02?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-6&pf_rd_r=0HPHDHTF9KMH7MWVQSM2&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1334779882&pf_rd_i=384082011

[REPLICA]

I loved most if not all the pieces of music from this soundtrack, I thought it fit the film very nicely. I have even used some of the pieces (In Motion, Magnetic and Almost Home - just to mention a few) in some of my running / fitness workout playlists.

It's almost exactly the same as the CD, but nincat has it all http://www.nincatalog.com/item.asp?key=01-90472

[terryzen]

saw the movie last night (again) and really loved the score. My all-time favorite score was Tangerine Dream's score to the best Michael Mann movie ever-his first, "Thief". They also did Sorcerer which was a remake of a movie from the 40's I think. I think seeing Thief and hearing Gary Numan got me into making music. Eagerly await hearing sountrack to GWDT and HTDA and whatever comes next.

[Collin]

Honestly, I think TSN soundtrack is some of Trent's best work. It's more focused then Ghosts but doesn't lose it's best ambient qualities and it's more layered then The Slip without losing it's delicate production.

[botley]

I wish they had made a 24bit download available along with the BD/CD/vinyl formats. The 16bit version has sync errors in between each track (yes, on the CD too).

[Rossva]

Been putting off watching this movie as I was sure it couldn't be that good - but checked it last night and to be fair - it was pretty good;

[thetourist]

Are the official soundtrack and the "For your Consideration" disc different or is it just the different title names and track 12 "Dinner with Sean" ?

[gorast]

Are the official soundtrack and the "For your Consideration" disc different or is it just the different title names and track 12 "Dinner with Sean" ?
The official soundtrack expands on every track and combines a few bits and pieces into a coherent track, so it's a somewhat different listening experience. The Ghosts reprises and the Grieg composition are missing as well.

[Reznor2112]

Quick question. I have never noticed the voices talking during Eventually We Find Our Way...starting at 2:47. You can barely hear them on headphones. Any ideas?? Sorry, a little late if this has already been mentioned. Never heard the voices until now.:confused:

I think I might've heard the word 'defendant' so it could be audio from the film?

[reznovka]

I love the Score, but I can´t listen to it without watching the movie.
TSN is great and Reznors Tunes are as necessary as the story in this movie, but without the movie itself, the music isn´t working.

[jhulud]

TSN feels more aggressive musically than TGWTDT...granted, two different films and overall feels...

What I love about the TSN soundtrack and the movie itself is that whenever I watch it, I can get really sucked in via the music and makes the movie so much better.

[pushingreality]

So I randomly decided to search The Social Network on Spotify...found this:

The Original Movies Orchestra – The Social Network (Main Themes From The Movie) (http://open.spotify.com/album/6rSgXGdLf1fuZuYBa58klB)

Click and listen for a good laugh. Who knew "Complication with Optimistic Outcome" was a main theme?

[joplinpicasso]

I love the Score, but I can´t listen to it without watching the movie.
TSN is great and Reznors Tunes are as necessary as the story in this movie, but without the movie itself, the music isn´t working.

I vehemently disagree. I've only seen the film once, in theaters, whereas the soundtrack has had countless plays on its own and means quite a bit to me. It's extremely evocative and I believe once I see Dragon Tattoo I'll eventually split my connection with the soundtrack from that film as well.

[ItsJustDave]

I agree with this. I don't need the movie to make a connection to any of the music. In fact I could not give a shit about the movie. I bought TSN soundtrack as a stand alone piece, and will do so for TGWTDT too. If I make a connection with, or if the music moves me then that's all I need. Watching a movie to see how the music fits has no interest to me.

[joplinpicasso]

Soft Trees Break The Fucking Fall.

[dcl]

I wish they had made a 24bit download available along with the BD/CD/vinyl formats. The 16bit version has sync errors in between each track (yes, on the CD too).
sync errors?

[gorast]

sync errors?
There were weird glitchy noises at the ends of each track that messed up the transition, I think. I never noticed it, but I don't have really high-end equipment, either.

[theimage13]

I vehemently disagree. I've only seen the film once, in theaters, whereas the soundtrack has had countless plays on its own and means quite a bit to me.

Similar here. I put my order in for the soundtrack the day it was announced, but I didn't even bother with the movie until Netflix had the disc available. Watched it once, and while it was good, I probably won't watch it again. The CD for the soundtrack, however, is still in my car and has been played more times than I can count while driving through the night.

[NIN64]

I finally just bought the 5.1 Bluray from nullco.com w00t!

[scorpiusdiamond]

I found out the other day that two tracks from The Social Network made their way onto the Drive soundtrack (not the CD but the film only).

[otnavuskire]

[NIN64]

Seriously! The fuck? That didn't end to high either. . .

[SIR.LONDONCLEANLILY]

I have searched all over and I can't find this certain clip and I am sure someone on here can help. What I am looking for is the beginning of TSN that had entirely different music that was more upbeat and almost happy. It really showed how TR and AR helped changed the tone of the film. Anyone know where I can find it?

[Leviathant]

I think that one of the places it was posted was the New York Times interview with Trent, re: The Social Network...

Thanks for trying! Was it on the Blu-Ray or DVD? I have the dvd and none of the extras sound like anything like that. I REALLY want that clip. It proves a point for me and I need it! haha

[jessamineny]

Amazon is doing a big DVD sale right now. TSN is $1.99 on DVD and $7.99 for Blu-ray, both the two-disc collector's version.

Edit: And TGWTDT is $4 DVD and $14.99 for the three-disc Blu-ray.

The piano work in Carbon Prevails is BRILLIANT.

[draven]

Tonight on Channel 7 in Australia, the tv show "The Block" used Hand Covers Bruise from The Social Network score. Random!

[Reznor2112]

Random question: Does anyone own the Blu ray of the soundtrack offered on the website? Just curious if the artwork/packaging is any different.

I seriously listen to the score once a day in the car and really wanna buy the blu ray of the score.

Only problem is it is sold out even though http://www.nullco.com/TSN/ says it isnt. Finally got my sealed copy. So now I have a sealed and open copy of TSN BD soundtrack.

[piggy]

ninwiki mentions nothing of it.
Actually, it does. (http://www.ninwiki.com/The_Social_Network_Soundtrack#Release)

"The album was released digitally on September 28, exclusively on Amazon.com, and was made available in three physical formats: CD, Blu-Ray audio and Vinyl, released on October 11, 18 and 25 respectively."

[jmtd]

You can see it here (http://www.nincatalog.com/item.asp?key=01-90472)

[sprixxle]

Does anyone REALLY know how many of the For Your Consideration cds have popped up? I have just begun collecting and have not seen one yet. What would be a fair price?
Thanks, John

[sheepdean]

A few hundred, maybe 1500? They put a LOT out after all

[jessamineny]

There are about 6,000 voting members of the Academy. I would think it is conceivable for a large studio to send out that many discs if it is a film and a category of import. How many will ever see the wild is a different story.

[eversonpoe]

i had forgotten that my standard CD edition had gotten ruined when my car "flooded" (i left the sunroof open overnight when it stormed like crazy two summers ago :/ ) so i just went on amazon, and there was ONE copy left, for only $6.99.

i feel quite pleased at the moment.

[Michael_Vens]

...has anyone made a vinyl rip of this soundtrack yet??

[eversonpoe]

realized i had never listened to my vinyl copy before, so i put it on the other day while my fiancee and i were reading. i felt my attention drifting away from the book and toward the music because i love it so much. sounded great except for a (very visible, upon closer inspection) weird bump on side D that made the second to last track skip quite a bit. :/

[echoplex31]

im a huge fan of this soundtrack, excellent work from Trent and Atticus, my main favourites are: In The Hall Of The Mountain King, In Motion & On We March

[sheepdean]

Yes, and I'll sell you mine for just $900!

[pwing47]

Yeah, there's one on Discogs for $300, too. I had a chance to pay about $50 for it a year or so ago, and didn't realize what a steal that was at the time. It makes me sad thinking about it. :'(

Btw, anyone selling one for a semi-reasonable price? I'd likely put down a fair amount for it now, but probably not $1,200.97 anytime soon (or 900, sheepdean :P)

[NIN64]

Yes, and I'll sell you mine for just $900!
I've already got one. :p Not sure I'd sell it. Just wondering if it's really this rare.

[Leviathant]

Why is it I bought so many copies of TDTWWA and only one BluRay of the TSN score?

(Answer: TDTWWA was on sale for $0.25 a pop one weekend, so I gave the store a $20 bill.)

The temptation's there to buy a pile of Gone Girl records off Amazon while they're $20 shipped, but I'm so against the kind of inflation you see on things like the BluRay and the vinyl that I couldn't bring myself to sell them for more than what I paid for them. Plus shipping.

that's why you buy a few now, wait until they inflate, and then make the exact amount of money back, also making new collectors happy to get a really good deal.

i mean, that's what you'd do if you were a really good person, anyway. ;)

It's not a bad pressing, just subpar. And because rarity + Oscar + NIN fans like to buy all the vinyl so I can't fucking have any

If you can help please email me I might not have seen this post if I wasn't so bored at work. I haven't been an active member of this "community" since the year zero ARG ended. Honestly Year Zero and then especially The Slip disappointed me and I lost the faith. I still would go to see him whenever he was in chicago but NIN was no longer an obsession. The Social Network soundtrack reignited my love for Trent's music and I think Hesitation Marks is one of his best albums except for that one song.... I have a pretty good collection of 5.1 music (5.1 is the best listening experience) and when I discovered this week that there was a 5.1 mix of the social network that I had forgotten about I literally screamed

Does anyone know why there's not been a repressing on vinyl? It obviously sold well and is so expensive currently that there's interest in it.

[sheepdean]

Does anyone know why there's not been a repressing on vinyl? It obviously sold well and is so expensive currently that there's interest in it.
Because represses cost a lot of money down - to not a huge return for a small one. Most vinyl represses of soundtracks are handled by companies like Mondo and MVP for a reason: labels don't care about the small film score market. And TRAR may have held onto the rights a little tightly, which would also restrict represses.

[BenAkenobi]

So, the industry is OK with selling a bag of blurays and a bag of vinyls and be done with it, not their problem if people are interested 2, 5, 25 years later? Alright, life is too short, let's move on, that's the deal?

The main industry cares about profit and new releases. The smaller labels care about appealing to the smaller markets. As much as it sucks, that's not really unusual.

Thanks for that, I was really surprised how much I liked the film, irrespective of the score. Even my husband liked it and he hates facebook and refuses to go on it.

I'm glad your Matrix review only includes the first film, the sequels were such a let down (well the second one anyway, I didn't bother seeing the third one). I really loved the soundtrack to the Matrix too

Remember a while ago there was a charity listing with the sheet music for Hand Covers Bruise?

So I finally got around to watching this film. Really enjoyed it and am pretty convinced it would not be as good without that music.

[thetrivialsublime]

Got a weird quirk in my vinyl collecting, I like to have the hype sticker accompanying my records as it makes me feel like I'm in a record store as I flip through them. Looking for hype stickers with original shrinkwrap if possible for Gone Girl and the Social Network but a cutout of the sticker would suffice. I know a lot of people consider these useless garnishes and throw them away, but if there's someone here who has no use for them and has begrudgingly held on to them I'd gladly pay. I could hypothetically pick up Gone Girl again on vinyl for cheap but then I have a whole extra copy. The Social Network is way harder to come by, I'm happy just to have it but the hype sticker would definitely satisfy my OCD.

Posting this in a few threads due to relevancy!

they did a limited run of vinyl and, even though a lot of them had flaws (https://www.discogs.com/release/2560332-The-Social-Network/reviews), they go for a ridiculous amount of money online (https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/2560332?ev=rb). pretty sure i remember paying around $30 from the NIN site when it came out.

arguing with a guy on the nin collecting and trading page on FB about the fact that there was only ever one pressing of TSN vinyl (he thinks they did a "definitive edition" because it's shown as sold out on the current nin website). that page is such a weird mix of people who are either OBSESSIVE collectors or just have NO IDEA what they're talking about, and there's so much misinformation floating around.

arguing with a guy on the nin collecting and trading page on FB about the fact that there was only ever one pressing of TSN vinyl (he thinks they did a "definitive edition" because it's shown as sold out on the current nin website). that page is such a weird mix of people who are either OBSESSIVE collectors or just have NO IDEA what they're talking about, and there's so much misinformation floating around.
Yeah but dude that blue/red broken/fixed is super rare and valuable

i know, right? i actually posted a discogs link to prove my point and then people stopped responding.

just like when i posted an image of an ACTUAL discolored spine on FDTS to prove that someone trying to sell one was full of shit. i can't abide people like that.

correct. i joined that group some time ago. now learned not to reply on everything and delete topics if i'm annoying it. but it's hard to handle with that.....

Obsessive collector would know there's only been one pressing. FB is the devil.

[Vertigo]

Thinking about throwing away my month's disposable money on the Social Network OST Bluray, to check out the 5.1 surround mix.

Before I do something I deeply regret, was hoping folks around here could answer a couple of questions - for one, is it actually worth listening to? Does it properly separate the mix? How does it compare to the Downward Spiral and With Teeth 5.1 mixes? And most importantly, I haven't been able to determine the region code. Are they all Region A (the Americas and eastern Asia), were some Region B copies printed or are they all region-free? Need to be sure I can actually play the damn thing.

Also, would much appreciate it if anyone could recommend an application for extracting 5.1 audio from DVDs and Blurays. Having trouble getting my With Teeth DualDisc DVD to play (which, again, might be a region issue), so am looking to just rip the thing to my hard drive, which may also present remixing possibilities.

how much are you paying? I have a Blu-ray social network that I talked about selling on here a while ago but never got round to

[Vertigo]

All the copies I've seen have been in the £70-120 region. Does it definitely play on UK Bluray systems then?

[botley]

Does it definitely play on UK Bluray systems then?
Yes, it's a region-free disc that will play worldwide.

As to the quality of the surround mix, I'd say it's about on par with With Teeth (so, not quite as adventurous as The Downward Spiral's mix; but then again, nothing is). Subtle on some songs, and more immersive on others.

Not a score question, but I found a DVD copy of TSN at a thrift store for $2 today. Already seen the movie - are the extras on disc two any good? Worth buying? Normally if I were to actually purchase physical media, I'd go for the highest resolution available. But extras, I'm less concerned with.

There's an 18 minute featurette entirely about the creation of the score that includes videos of the creation of several tracks as well as early versions of a few tracks, there's a feature that lets you listen to four different mixes/drafts of In the Hall of the Mountain King, and there's a 4 minute featurette about the Swarmatron. Aside from the music, there's the standard behind the scenes stuff and commentary, but there's also a featurette on the cinematography, one on the post processing, and one with several videos and audio tracks of how they made the club scene, which was fascinating.

Torn between jumping on this pre-order and waiting to see something on nin.com. Maybe the announcement will drop tomorrow or Monday.

Was it released through a label originally? I know Trent didn't sign NIN and HTDA to Columbia until 2012, but I feel like this and Dragon Tattoo might have been distributed by some major label. I don't know if that would impact where this is being released.

[Prettybrokenspiral]

Oh hells yea! Now I’m super-glad I didn’t listen to anyone who was telling me to open my $300 original vinyl pressing way back when. Hopefully this one sounds better than the original apparently does, too..

[Prettybrokenspiral]

This is great news. So glad I didn’t listen to people telling me to open my original pressing when I bought it sealed three or four years ago. I’ll just play this one if I want to hear it on vinyl and let my OG continue to accrue value on my shelf..

According to a bunch of people on Discogs, their pressing was loaded with surface noise and non-fill, while a few others claim it’s nonsense..

https://www.discogs.com/Trent-Reznor-and-Atticus-Ross-The-Social-Network/release/2560332

Again, I never opened mine. I just listen to the CD or the files on my phone when I’m jonesing to hear it. I’ve never had an issue with any Rough Trade pressings I’ve bought, so I’m glad I held out on opening my original, as this repress will likely sound great from a reputable label and can serve as my playing copy..

[ninlive]

Sounds like a bunch of people on discogs are superior vinyl listeners. *pushes up glasses*

I've got the OG and it sounds good. But I would love to have a "definitive" version!

[imail724]

Doesn't the value of original pressings usually go down when a reissue is released, not up?

[Prettybrokenspiral]

Theoretically, you would think so, right? But in many cases, the value of the original press continues to go up, even when there is a repress (like With Teeth or TDS). In a worst-case scenario, I’ve found the value to merely stay where it was before the repressing was available (like The Fragile). I guarantee if the Year Zero or The Slip vinyl reissues ever materialize, the values of their original pressings won’t budge either..

[imail724]

[botley]

I'm interested in a repress, but not a remaster. They got it right on the Blu-ray stereo track, and I'm pretty sure the original vinyl is just cut from that. I think sometimes the Definitive Edition remastering is a step backwards... Kevin Gray cut the 2008 reissue of Downward Spiral from Bob Ludwig's 10th anniversary remastered stereo version, and I don't think the DE is better sounding than that. Gray also cut the original Social Network soundtrack vinyl pressing; it's debatable whether another mastering will yield better results...

Interesting. I've never heard the original TSN pressing, but since this reissue announcement I've seen several people say the original pressing doesn't sound good at all. I didn't know it was cut by Grey though, who is known for his exceptional work. Wonder if the people complaining about the original pressing quality are playing it on lower tier turntables/cartridges.

[Tom]

It may well be a great master - as I'd expect from KG - but a poor pressing. The pressings of The Slip and Ghosts (US) were rather poor, and TSN was a similar period, so it wouldn't surprise me. Anyone know where it was pressed?

Also, low tier TTs and cartridges are more likely to mask pressing issues.

[imail724]

Also, low tier TTs and cartridges are more likely to mask pressing issues.
I think it can go either way depending on the specific issue. I've never owned a lower tier TT, but I've heard multiple times that people will complain about "skipping" on a brand new record, not realizing the issue is due to the fact they are playing it on a crosley or something similar.

I actually think the 2017 TDS remaster is the only one that sounds objectively worse. There are parts of it that are better, but there's an extreme lack of dynamics in songs like I Do Not Want This, where there are three distinct levels of volume originally, but only two on the 2017 version. It's so compressed in fact, that instead of the track getting louder during the chorus, the instrumental stays the same volume as the pre-chorus and the vocals actually get quieter. For any improvements the 2017 version offers, moments like this detract too heavily for them to provide a net gain over the 10th Anniversary remaster.

I think TSN is perfect the way it is, and I don't see how a remaster could provide anything more to it.

[botley]

I don't have a GREAT turntable, by any means (it's an entry-level Audio-Technica automatic model with built-in cartridge, though I have upgraded the preamp), kinda noisy output, and not a great stereo soundstage or much treble extension. But weird mastering stuff like that ^ is still VERY apparent when I listen to records on it. A cutting engineer that knows what they're doing can make digital mastering sound great but only if the dynamics aren't already completely squashed.

So this is in fact the definitie edition as intended by TR/AR and Rob? Nice! Had to give in and buy it, although it's no bargain.

This very soundtrack is pretty much what got me through university. Always used to put it on while studying or writing papers, essays and my thesis. Had a great time watching the movie with a good friend I met on my very first day at campus. Good memories and very happy to finally have this for a reasonable (well...) price.

Can confirm. Also did a LOT of work to this score in the background.

[sonic_discord]

I snagged em both as well. Then I put on TSN score while working at my kitchen table. Takes me back to when I was in school, I used to listen to this all the time while writing code for my web development class. Made me feel like I was working on something cooler than I actually was.

Indeed - gutted about that and fingers crossed it comes later. Sadly I only purchased the Nullco Apple Format version back in the day.

[Prettybrokenspiral]

Falling asleep to their score work is one of my favorite things to do. Some -- Gone Girl, Waves, Before the Flood, Vietnam War, TGWTDT -- are easy to sack out to. TSN wasn't always like this and took me a long time to warm to when trying to fall asleep. There's a lot going on in some of these compositions, and it's definitely one of their more restless scores..

Bird Box Deluxe is the same way. Just when you think you've found a lull in it, something jars you back into its nightmarishness (like that insane Trespasser track)..

[muad'nin]

I wonder if the audio will be remastered, or if this release is just to make the soundtrack available to fans once again, since the initial pressing is so hard to come by at a reasonable price.

[halo eighteen]

I wonder if the audio will be remastered, or if this release is just to make the soundtrack available to fans once again, since the initial pressing is so hard to come by at a reasonable price.

I think Rob referred to it as being remastered on twitter, but nin store makes no mention of it (Quake does get that distinction). I'm not really sure why anything from 2010 would need to be remastered, though. It is the "definitive edition" though, with the original artwork that they wanted to use. It'll be interesting if that affects the value of the original at all, since they will be uniquely different.

The homepage does state it's a definitive edition. It should be interesting to see what's changed. I thought it was perfect the way it was.

Based on Rob saying the sampler cover was meant to be the actual cover, and that cover being used for this reissue, the Definitive Edition tag probably just refers to this vinyl release looking the way they wanted it to originally, as well as it likely being a lot easier to obtain than the original was. I doubt anything about the interior art or even the master will be different.

[Leviathant]

It'll definitively be in my collection.

Personally, I think the Bluray is the definitive edition. This was Trent & Co at the peak of their "let's make surround sound records" phase.

[spahn]

... of their "let's make surround sound records" phase.

I wish that phase would come back. I loved those 5.1 mixes.

[jmtd]

I don't see what's so excessive about 2LP releases hovering around the $35 price point. That seems like the going rate for new releases in a lot of places.

This is probably not an argument worth getting into, though.

$35 seems fine to me. The UK price is the equivalent of $54.

[mr9inchnail]

Ordered yesterday and already have a tracking number!!!

[gorast]

Thanks to The Reason Being 's photos in the store thread, we can see that like the other Definitive Editions, TSN comes with an essay by film critic Elvis Mitchell, dated March 2020. That'll be a fun read when I get mine.

[Leprekon666]

Anyone know if these will be coming to retailers? The exchange and shipping cost a lot to Canada. I know I ordered birdbox and that came available after a few weeks I believe for preorder in retailers along with With_Teeth. My local record store was told there’s no info from there suppliers yet.

[mr9inchnail]

If the previous reissues are any indication I would expect to see these listed on Amazon and in records stores in the coming months. I can't remember exactly how long I had the other reissues before they were listed on other sites.

The exchange and shipping is definitely a lot from Canada but I'm too impatient to wait for other retailers to get them :P

It’s not no Watchmen fiasco lol. I can wait till the holidays (Xmas presents) to get it if it’s in retailers as I’m using my money for my PS5 and Deftones Ohms lol.

[mr9inchnail]

The watchmen fiasco lol. Hopefully we never have another of those. Both my TSN and Quake have already shipped. Hoping I'll have them next week. Hopefully there's no damage. We shall see!

Nobody gettin’ no download cards for either new release

Nobody gettin’ no download cards for either new releaseHm, bummer. I guess I can understand that with TSN, but not releasing a digital remaster of a 26 year old soundtrack? Oof.

[eversonpoe]

MrLobster or botley to the rescue...either of you planning on digitizing your vinyl copies of quake or TSN?

[MrLobster]

either of you planning on digitizing your vinyl copies of quake or TSN?

I am, but Quake only (I'd need to dig out my and re-clean my TSN for a better encoding... last time I did it I hadn't started wet cleaning), but I'm not sure I'm the guy to the rescue on that either... not really comfortable generally sharing others works this way. However, legitimate purchasers of them should be able to listen to them however they like... so... I can be convinced (let's about about the UK and ripping CDs or stupid DRM attempts).

[botley]

Just moved house and so unpacking my turntable and connecting it up is pretty low priority even if mine arrives soon-ish.

What are the hardware requirements for something like that?

[blassster]

What are the hardware requirements for something like that?An AV receiver with the capability to receive and decode such a spec. I'm assuming that the HDMI on PC video cards will push out the signal as well. Either way, there's usually a traditional Dolby Digital fallback contained in the audio stream, at least on Blu-ray.


Looks like a high possibility of TF getting this treatment as well. Though the work was already done for surround, they'd have to do whatever special extras for Atmos.



I think I remember TGWTDT being finished in surround as well, and TR said that it wouldn't be released because (exact reasons unstated - probably Sony and commerce). A tiny glimmer of hope for this too, depending on how well TSN sells... and if I'm remembering correctly that it was already done...

[Krazy]

I see it on my iOS phone app, but not on the Xbox app (personal preference because convenience). Anyone else seeing the same thing?

[TheBang]

Atmos-capable receiver, and an Ultra HD Blu-ray player. And however many speakers you want to add to that configuration.

Actually, now that I think about it, regular Blu-ray supports Atmos soundtracks, so there's no reason this actually has to be on an Ultra HD Blu-ray.

Amazon Music should be able to stream the mix. So one should “only” need the capable receiver, and 5.1 speaker set up.

[FULLMETAL]

I've been out of the surround sound loop for a while now. Anyone know if this site knows their stuff? https://www.digitaltrends.com/home-theater/dolby-atmos-sound/

[paul_guyet]

When AATCHB came out...I bought a 5.1.

When BYIT came out...I bought an HDTV.

I'm not doing this again for TSN.

...

For 'The Fragile' though...

[Lerxto]

I just found out my AV receiver can't process dolby atmos signal.
I think I bought it around 2013, I remember that because one of the first record I played on my new system was Hesitation Marks.
Guess it's time to spend another $1000.

Yeah mine is a 2015ish Yamaha and only has DTS HD-MA, no Atmos. Might be time to upgrade also if more films are available with it also

[jmtd]

I think Atmos landed in around 2017. BR 2049 had atmos in theatres iirc

[nmitchell86]

It appears if you buy the new vinyl on Amazon you also get a MP3 download... https://www.amazon.com/Social-Network-Definitive-LP/dp/B08K5F6FKQ/ref=tmm_vnl_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1601741851&sr=8-1

[eversonpoe]

Amazon Music should be able to stream the mix. So one should “only” need the capable receiver, and 5.1 speaker set up.

yeah i'm wondering how it'll downmix into 5.1 (and how different that will sound to the original 5.1 mix, which i love). my receiver is capable of 7.2 but not technically atmos (it's about 7 years old, i think). hoping this will get a physical release but if i have to sign up for a free trial of amazon HD music to check it out, i guess i will. still think it's bullshit that a prime subscription only comes with "standard" amazon music.

[Substance242]

I like e.g. 4K video, but I still firmly believe all these new sound formats above 5.1 are stupid and very few people have setup to actually benefit from them at home. DTS 96/24 forever! :-)

[cdm]

still think it's bullshit that a prime subscription only comes with "standard" amazon music.

Agreed. I have no surround setup to listen to this on so I'll have to wait. Certainly not subscribing to yet another service. I'm very intrigued but I probably won't dive in until The Fragile drops.

[jmtd]

I don’t have a surround setup any more: I only ever had one and it sucked. But atmos (and more generally the object source tech) is really interesting and offers exciting opportunities imho. A big step away from 5.1 and other fixed speaker orientation setups.

[allegate]

before Covid happened Pearl Jam were going to do a theater experience with their new album and its Atmos mix. It eventually came to Apple Music and it sounded fine on my 5.1 setup so I assume the same would hold true here.

Would 100% much rather a physical release though just because I want to be sure I can still play it in the future.

[cdm]

I just looked at receiver prices JFC. Not to sidetrack the thread but it seems relevant...aside from adding more channels, what is the deal with Atmos? And will there be a noticeable difference between 5.1 and 7.2 (and yes, i realize the answer to this is subjective)?

I'm so far out of the AV loop.

[spahn]

Don't have ATMOS, just purchased a Sonus Playbar and Sonus Beam last year so ATMOS is not in my future...BUT, i'll still buy both of these just because you never know. :)

[nmitchell86]

LOVE to see if either of these are remastered audio.

I'd think that they are. You can buy just the remaster mp3 from various hi-rez audio outlets on other nin releases.

Edit: I stand corrected on being remastered audio. See TheBang 's message below.

TSN hasn't been remastered. The vinyl is just a reissue of the existing master.

Yes, sorry, I was focused on the potential UHD disc.

Not an expert but instead of tuning your speaker locations to be exactly right for 5.1 (or 7.1etc) the receiver can tune the balance to your precise real-world speaker locations. Many 5.1 receivers did something kind of like that but the artists presentation of the music was based on the perfect speaker location, and that tuning is like using an equaliser, potentially changes the presentation in ways the artist didn’t intend. The raw data in atmos is a set of sound objects, which are described in terms of their position in a 3D space and the receiver does the mix-down.

Goddammit The Fragile is going to drop and I'll be Tony Soprano outfitting the guest house...only instead of the guest house it'll be my TV room and instead of Clapton it'll be The Mark Has Been Made. Carmela's reaction would be the same though.
