Wow... thanks for that; didn't even know this was out.  I went straight to HDTracks - I can't wait for the CD

Yeah, the new album is out today.
 
I think that it's their best album since Ghost Reveries!  (IMO of course..)

Not sure what just happened, but I ordered this on HDTracks and THEY applied a "discount" that matched the original purchase price; so, I paid zero for the 96/24 version.  Has anyone else seen this before?  Not complaining, but puzzled

Never thought that much of Ghost Reveries. But this album makes me want to do a marathon of the past 4 albums, along with Storm Corrosion.

While you are at it, add Steven Wilson's Grace for Drowning to the mix - I've been playing that one to death, along with Storm Corrosion.
 
I picked up the Blu-ray version of Grace... with the surround mix and I can often be found slumped on my couch with a puddle of drool on my chin

I just got the version from HDtracks.  The audio quality of the album deserves special praise. Hardly any compression and very dynamic.


I just picked it up , and I completely agree... One of the best recorded performances in recent memory!

Just happened to be listening to Pale Communion when I read this... Agreed, great album, a big improvement from Heritage (which I liked, but didn't think was spectacular by any means). You fellas have good taste 'round here :wink:

Listening to John Grado's three test tracks on my RS1i tonight. I can definitely say, these headphones were made for this music!!
 
Sublime...

I will still always prefer albums of theirs like Blackwater Park or Still Life - but the newest album is more enjoyable for me than Heritage. I enjoy all of their albums though, just some a lot lot more than others. Great mastering job.

I've got a woodied pair of 325's with your name on them. Shoot me a PM!

How did you like your 325is after you woodied them? what type of wood did you use? I'm heavily considering woodying my 325is. I would be getting a full woody, not just a slip on, and the wood will be indiana rosewood. do you just have slip ons on em or did you liberate the driver and install a full wooden enclosure? Thanks for your time man. 
 
if anyone else has been in my shoes before or has any input in regards to my question please don't hesitate to hold back :)
