I spectralled the 320 rip of Sirens and it was solid all the way up to 20khz. I expected much worse.
The penny just dropped - I think the getmetal.org and exystence.net uploads are different...

So, which one should I grab?...
I haven't looked at anything else but if the 320 isn't a transcode of the 128 then I'd go with the 320.
That doesn't help!

Which website's rip is the "good" one?

There's multiple 320 rips out there: the one on What is apparently just a transcode, etc.
I just downloaded the one Jorge PMed me.
That doesn't help either.
How about comparing a track that hasn't already been around in true lossless for weeks?

I want to give Jeff a big sloppy kiss after listening to this album.

Okay, upon first listen this is a very solid album! I'm excited to hold the physical copy in my hand sometime week. Oh so excited. Gotta say my favorites are LTRP, infallible, and Pendelum.. All very different. Love them

The tracklisting

It's bonkers.

This does actually sound like an album recorded in two sessions over two years and then mixed up.

Indeed. If it doesn't catch on with me this may be the first album I actually listen to re-tracked.

Well, I can safely say this album will go at number 8 in my rankings, possibly tied with S/T but I think much better.

I'm loving the blend into the next song that appears here and there.
And I hate fade outs but this works.

I was definitely feeling that up til LTRP. That thought didn't necessarily change, but that's the point I stopped thinking about how awesome Jeff was on every song.

He's great in SBM and YM as well.

Haters gonna hate. Should be the sutitle of this forum

This album is great. My expectations were very low with what I had read from the preview hearings.
