The crown jewel of the album, , is highly sensitive to compression.

A track characterized by playful instrumentation and fast-paced arrangement.

If you download the track from an online archive, verify its integrity. Drop the FLAC file into a spectral analysis tool like Audacity or Fono . Look at the frequency spectrum analyzer; if the audio waves sharply cut off at a flat ceiling of 16 kHz or 20 kHz, the file is a "transcode" (an MP3 masquerading as a FLAC). True FLAC files show organic, jagged frequency trails reaching all the way up to 22 kHz.

A true audiophile rip includes an (Exact Audio Copy) or XLD log showing that the disc was read in secure mode with no errors. If your FLAC file does not come with a .log file, you are trusting a stranger’s ripping ability. Don’t.
