5 star anyway, but rather as a CD?

A very good album, I really like a lot. One needs at SW not to talk about the artistic quality, which is, I might almost say, by definition, a constant that you can take for granted. For me the best piece and thus out tip is Track 5: Home Invasion / Regret # 9, in particular the outstanding keyboard solo by Adam Holzman. The preferred for SWs solo projects Drummer Marco Minnemann (Too bad that it did not work with Dream Theater) brings again this time the necessary pressure in the matter, sometimes they also have a small metal-touch.

About the technology: I have bought the album as MP3 downloads, as I listen to music mostly on SD card in the car (only because I have peace). Very impressed I was from the fact that here was a booklet as a PDF file with this. One feels so otherwise but a bit excluded.
But I have the impression that here the MP3 process but is reaching its technical limits, in hindsight I should have brought my CD. What can be heard more frequently even in classical music, so here is also the subjective impression sometimes "clouded", just in a little more intense passages. Amazon MP3 quality is beyond doubt, and I think more goes with MP3 not easy. About Vinyl need nothing to say, because the positions are fixed anyway.
