Remember the early days of stereo recordings? Everything was placed hard right or hard left, with no center, so the listener could never mistake this for a "mono" recording. These exaggerated recordings now sound ridiculous.

I think the current crop of 5 channel recordings is similar. The engineers have exaggerated the 5 channel effect by moving instruments all around, rather than using it to obtain more realistic hall sound and ambience. I think we have to work through this excessive phase before things improve. In the interim, it can be painful to listen to these recordings.
