Excellent Sound, Great Album, Why not 5.1 Surround?

"A classic album. But a big disappointment that this is just a hybrid sacd stereo and not a 5.1 surround.Although sacd is an improvement over a regular cd, what makes the new format compelling is the 5.1 surround.The album does sound great in stereo. But it should have been redone in 5.1"
A CLASSIC!! CLEAN, ECONOMICAL, ROCK!!!

"This is an album I've had for sometime. I have it in the regular format, a gold disc, and then had to hear it in the hybrid format. It was worth every penny and them some. The hybrid version is definitely the cleanest, bringing out every nuance of voice and instrument.
Any criticism of the content of the CD would simple be ludicrous. This album is one of the best in rock. Walking on a Wire, Just the Motion, Did She Jump Or Was She Pushed, and the Wall of Death are strong statements about humans and their behavior, and the conditions that brings.
This album is as clean and economical as they come. No note is here that doesn't need to be (economical) and nothing is lost in the mix. I strongly recommend "Shoot Out the Lights" as an essential part of any music collection. 6 stars."
