Can i just say that i love the idea of 5.1 albums but Obie didnt play too much with the mix if i remember right (havent heard it for ages). On Novocaine, it was crying out for Jons ramblings at the end of the track to be higher in the mix IMO and maybe just out of the rear speakers to give it more effect.

I did ask Obie about this when Jovi.com did the AskObie section and he replied saying he'd love to do more 5.1 as he was passionate about that kinda stuff but there wasnt enough time in the day.
