i think that there is some audible difference in certain genres, but i've heard albums in 128 many times that sounded superb (on a great pair of headphones, mind you). i think that it may possibly be a placebo effect. at least, it's interesting to note how many blind studies were done with the vast majority of people not being able to detect a difference, or guessing the quality of files incorrectly

mmm, possible. I'll compare the album version of flesh without blood to the youtube version after I'm done with the album, which is pretty great so far btw

album version of realiti isn't too different to the original. she's just added a house beat and some delay/reverb to the vocals. gives it a nice touch I feel

it's a shame how many people will undoubtedly bash this album for being 'too poppy'



this is lovely so far. i actually really enjoyed california. already heard the album version of realiti and it's great. kill v. maim is so good

world princess part 2 is a highlight too



scream ended up being one of the worst songs



"it's a shame how many people will undoubtedly bash this album for being 'too poppy' "



yeah. this feels a lot more instant than visions though, which took a bit of time to grow

scream is top 3 for me so far. absolutely love it (that breathy chorus is so fucking good, and so sweetly dark towards the end)

venus fly is so good too. almost sounds like a M.I.A. track. can see this being her next single

after one listen this is a 4.5. album only gets better through its run time. venus fly is ridiculous. one of if not the best pop lp i've ever heard. she nailed it





listening to it all over again from the start

artangels and easily were w/e. they were good but not super engaging. hoping there's still lots of good stuff to come. currently on pin

flesh without blood album version definitely sounds worse than youtube version. can't wait to hear this in 320. love that she changed it up a few times too. scream is actually pretty cool in the context of the album

yeah, unlike some of the albums i've heard in 128 this one sounds very noticeable. i'm hoping the 320 version sounds much better tbh
