Purchasing dolby atmos albums

cross-posted from: https://feddit.uk/post/28040733

In my effort to move away from streaming services, I'm purchasing songs from my favourite artists (mostly through Bandcamp, which Muse unfortunately doesn't have)
On Muse's website, it states that the only two options to download their music is through Google Play and Amazon Music. However, I don't see the dolby atmos version of the albums on Google Play and Amazon Music doesn't work, I tried installing but I just get an error message.
Does someone know how I could download these albums?

Google play and Amazon are only going to give you 320kbs MP3s.
Be aware that Dolby Atmos is a surround sound standard developed in 2011. So nothing before that will be mixed in it unless it's received a remaster.
I'm a huge Muse head too, and I've found the only way to get high quality recordings is to buy the vinyl. But it certainly won't be in surround sound. Like most modern stereo albums, you'll most likely get 3.1 channels (left, right, center, and bass.) My advice is to just get what you can and enjoy the music.

Just accept the fact atmos is a grift. Buy regular albums and pirate the atmos ones.
