I just played the entire album twice, but on the second time through I went immediately into Binaural following River Cross. That transition into Breakerfall sounds fucking AWESOME. Seriously, you guys should check it out.

These two albums sound amazing back to back.
I'm gonna have to do this soon.
I tried this and have to agree with the PHAT one

Isn’t that a great transition!? It works phenomenally well.

I had Gigaton, Binaural, Riot Act, and ST together in a playlist set to random yesterday, and it went in some really cool directions.
I’d only want to include about half of S/T if I did something like that. The production on some of those songs is just so jarring that I don’t think they would fit well with the others. Binaural sounds great coming out of Gigaton. I can imagine most of RA would work too.

I use the Spotify mix, which sounds a lot better than the original release or 2017 mix, but in each of these cases I removed songs I didn’t want to hear or felt didn’t belong. I also included some era-appropriate lost dogs.

Sounds great. That’s basically the material I’ve been most interested in listening to over the last few years plus Gigaton. Sounds damn good to me.

Upon hearing the interview with Josh Evans, I am convinced they can keep going with this paradigm shift. A lot of it has to do with him understanding their sound, their dynamic, and really their soul, from the duel perspectives of lifelong local fan and professional engineer. Add that to the new warehouse studio and it all makes more sense (he talked a lot about the time pressure being off thanks to the studio situation).

Well I feel like an idiot, I didn't know there were better mixes of S/T.

There's three versions:
1. Adam Kasper's original mix, as released in 2006. 2. Kasper's original mix with much improved mastering, this was quietly uploaded to Spotify at some point. 3. Brendan O'Brien's 2017 remix.
McP's referring to the second of those above, I believe.

Soooooo is there a way to hear/get the improved mastering without actually having/using Spotify?

I have an mp3 320 of the Spotify mix. Does anyone know if there is a FLAC version available?

I don't think a truly lossless version is available as Spotify doesn't stream lossless audio.
Any FLAC version will be a lossless capture of a lossy stream, though that's still arguably the best you can hope for unless that master becomes available elsewhere.

That's what I thought. I have Spotify, but rarely use it. Wasn't sure if there is a premium version that let you download FLAC files.
