Good news for Metallica fans

[---------]

"The Black Album" - Metallica's most successful album - is now available as a high resolution 96kHz/24bit FLAC download on HDtracks.com.
I haven't downloaded it yet and therefore cannot vouch for the quality.

Will this be any better than the CD itsself?

[---------]

If it really is 96kHz/24 bit, the sound quality should be better than the CD (44.1kHz/16bit).

Based on hdcraps' track (sic) record I wouldn't hold my breath.

Slightly more conservative than the CD, nice to see it's not a total botch job for a change.

Needledrop of same track from 45RPM reissue.  You'll definitely need to turn it up compared with the others, but that's a good thing
