Fleetwood Mac – Rumours – Dolby Atmos Blu-ray Audio Review

Warner Records | 1977 (2024 Atmos Mix) | Runtime 39 min | Release Date: September 27, 2024
Genres: Rock, Soft Rock, Classic Album

Audio Quality – 5/5

This new Dolby Atmos mix from producer Ken Caillat and engineer Steven Wilson breathes remarkable life into one of the most iconic albums ever made. Every track feels newly illuminated — guitars shimmer across the front stage while the vocal harmonies float in a truly enveloping 3-D field.

• “Dreams” opens wide with Stevie Nicks’ voice dead-center, Lindsey’s guitar rippling outward, and the hi-hat sitting perfectly overhead.
• “Go Your Own Way” hits with punchy, layered guitars and drums that explode with newfound dimension.
• “The Chain”’s legendary bass break growls with depth that finally matches the band’s live power.

Dynamic range is expansive yet natural; there’s no compression or artificial height trickery. This is easily one of the most transparent and emotionally engaging Atmos music releases to date.
