I'm not sure what you mean by this. Though am I the only one who notices a pretty stark fuzz over Rihanna's voice at around 1:27 or so?

the clipping is just horrific at parts, especially during the fantastic finish to "Runaway".

maybe it'll sound better on CD.. guess i'll find out tomorrow. :D

What programs do/will you guys use to get the best possible quality rip of the CD?

And how about if I still want it to play on my iPhone 3GS? I'm pretty sure iPhones/iPods don't support FLAC/Lossless formats, yes?

iTunes rips in AIFF and Apple Lossless. I dont know much about it, but I'd assume those would be just fine.

Which of the two is better?

And man if I didn't love physical copies I'd go for that Amazon thing in an instant.

Fuckers at Amazon are getting mine to me on Tuesday. I could have sworn I chose "release date shipping". I messaged them to complain and they have no record of this option.

Why would you want inferior quality when the album will be in your hands shortly?

To support Kanye for only 3$! You're right, I don't owe him anything. Give me the real CD amazon!

They are both nearly identical to the files on a physical cd, you won't notice a difference.

"fat muthafucka now look who's in trouble"

the mental imagery of Rick Ross chasing some random person through a jungle makes me laugh for some reason

I guess I haven't listened to Power in forever.
Those laughs at the end caught me off guard.

I've been listening to Power a lot more recently and its still a really damn good track. I feel bad for leaving it out in the GAF battles of what the best songs on the album are.

Just picked this up, accidentally downloaded the edited version first, so I guess Kanye get's my money twice. Sounds great!

The iPhone 3GS can play Apple Lossless, so if you have the room on your phone for it, it's a good option.

Target looks to be the best brick and mortar place to pick up the physical copy. Normal is $8.99 and the deluxe is $13.99 I'll be buying a copy of the Deluxe first thing in the morning.

P.S. HOLY SHIT. Pitchfork gave the album a perfect 10.

"So Appalled" is my favorite track. This album is fire.

that song demands you read the lyrics as you listen. for full appreciation to be had.

it's easily the best song on the album. *everyone* brought their A-Game.

^ I'd buy the deluxe copy if it included more than the Runaway DVD as an extra. :-/


so what was the fifth album art cover? I assume those of you who bought it should know? I assume all 5 are embedded into the mp3's?
Click to expand...

No , if you want the album covers you have to buy the album.

wait, what? oh, you mean the physical disc? because you just bought the album.

I meant digital copies of the album covers, like we have on the first page of this thread. All of which can be added to your mp3's as album art by dragging them all onto the artwork square in iTunes. I would have assumed if there were multiple covers, they would have all been attached to the mp3's. oh well. I'm sure that last one will surface at some point today or tomorrow.

Honestly though, Merriweather Post Pavilion and Sound of Silver are two recent albums that deserved a 10 far more than this album.

Don't even start bitching about Pitchfork reviews, it's such a waste of time.

boooooooooooooo

I thought the only difference was the extra DVD.

or are you referring to the iTunes Deluxe Edition?
Click to expand...
The Deluxe edition's physical copy is the only one that comes with physically interchangeable artwork.

Digital versions? I have no idea, but it's not very hard to swap out jpegs.

And why is Pitchfork held so high exactly? I always thought it was just some sort of hip establishment to attach yourself to online.

yea, the digital versions were what I was referring to. and I was surprised that the mp3's Amazon is selling doesn't just have all of the jpeg's built into the MP3's.
