(The only one available / in exsistance.)


Notes from Eddy_litE:
Since long I've seen TOOL fans on numerous fora out there that love the albums created by TOOL but hate the 'brickwalled' soundsignature on all of the officially available releases asking for a remastered version of typically this great album from 2001. Especially the dense, diverse and often complex soundscapes created by TOOL demand a mastering that shows all those little details. Furthermore, a dynamic range of 7~9 dBFS is way too small or narrow for a recording this rich and dynamic in essence. Although the numbers don't tell us all, the DR report(s) shows figures one would expect from a 80s or early 90s CD. This results in less fatique problems while listening to the album on moderate to louder volume. A more natural sounding album when listening on low volume. Harder hitting snares. Louder kicking bassdrums. A bassline one can follow throughout the whole song and a soundscape that is much wider than the original. And, when one needs to be kicked in the n*ts this remaster really kicks good.
WILL THIS SOUND BETTER THAN MY OFFICIAL CD/Vinyl record?

I think so very much. But, YMMV...
Just try it out!
