Of course, I haven't gotten around to listening to it yet, but I'm sure I won't be disappointed.

I decided it would be worthwhile to get a FLAC copy of Pink Floyd - Animals, since I feel like I've been having fidelity issues with ever other digital copy I've obtained, which has been a few. I haven't taken the time to listen yet, but I think I'm going to go and find FLAC copies of some of the albums that are more important to me. Let the format/compression/bitrate arguments begin.

That's a good idea...especially for a Pink Floyd album. I find the only thing higher bitrates do is make each instrument/sound much more distinct. Like maybe you can clearly pick out 2 guitars doing almost the same thing whereas before you may have only heard 1. Pink Floyd is ripe for increased bitrates.

Yeah, I too would prefer that doesn't happen.

I did a comp in the Beginner's Guide if that's any help.

One of the first albums I ever owned.

Tons of filler on it but a lot of fun to listen to.

My most recent buy was Refused's reissue of The Shape of Punk to Come.

I owned the album when it first came out, lost it, and then got the reissue. It reminds me of how good the Refused really were. Too bad they didn't play their last show :\

I can imagine, I've seen pictures and heard accounts from my friends of how raucous their shows get, but I feel like I would have to see them for myself to get the full experience. A Flying Lotus/Major Lazer show sounds amazing.
