Is this expected to be on hi-res music sites on the 27th? I've never listened to hi-res before but thinking this is as good a time as any to dabble.

Just finished a complete playthrough of the album. Listened while cleaning the kitchen. For an album that's nearly an hour long, it goes by fast. When it ends, I'm left wanting more. I'm considering adding MFS and Pendulum to Gigaton and just forgetting about LB. This album is kind of a big deal.

To say that I had a lot riding on this album is a bit of an overstatement, but I was prepared for an extension of Lightning Bolt. I think a lot of us were. I had prepared myself for an album that was going to finally let me write the final chapter of my nostalgic autobiography and place PJ on the bookshelf that represented a large part of my life that had ended. The memories would always be great, but all things come to an end, good and bad.

But right as the door was shutting, at the 11th hour, Gigaton just completely reignited this band in my mind and has propelled them back into my life. An adult life, much different than I was then. A great chapter that’s been added to their story, and my story.

Seeing a link to an apparent 320 rip out there.

EDIT: It looks to be just a mislabeled 256 version.
