Tool Fear Inoculum impressions


Who else thinks this is a masterpiece? Or, do you hate it? Your thoughts...

My buddy just picked up two copies (LP's) at Walmart of all places. 
Great album! 
The affordable lp may never happen :(
its supposed to be a box set of one side records :(  
Has anyone downloaded/purchased the new Tool from HDTracks?
I'm even more interested in the sound quality of the original CD releases of Tool's catalog compared to the HDTracks. I like everything about Tool with exception to the strange equalization in production. The sound quality of APC is vastly different and I prefer the production on APC albums over Tool's. I like Tool more than APC; just wish it sounded better. I’m holding out on buying from HDTracks until I can reasonably expect it to out-do their CDs.
Does HD Tracks have their own mastered file delivered to them? I doubt it. The 24/96 mastering for download is indicated in the DR Database.

It’s what I’ve been listening to via Qobuz and it sounds terrific. The DR for the CD appears to have the same specs as the downloads.

Edit: Actually, the CD has higher compression than the hirez download. Too bad, the record labels will never change. With CDs we're stuck with an inferior product.
