When you stream a low-bitrate version of this record, you lose the subtle room acoustics, the analog tape saturation simulation, and the intricate vocal doubles that give the album its signature gothic, ethereal atmosphere. FLAC ensures that the 16-bit/44.1kHz (CD quality) or 24-bit high-resolution masters are delivered precisely as the band and engineers intended in the studio.

The album’s opening track sets a dark, urgent tone. In a high-resolution FLAC file, the opening drum fill delivers a crisp, physical snap on the snare and a deep, resonant thud from the kick drum. When the main guitar riff hits, the separation between the distorted rhythm track and the high-register ambient overlays prevents the track from sounding like a muddy wall of noise. 2.
