just sayin', they should release the next album in hybrid SACD format, or at least explore the option of doing that.

note to anyone who doesn't know what an SACD is:
SACD stands for super audio cd, and it delivers music at a higher bitrate and less processed than CDs so it is more lossless than even CDs and has high quality sound similar to that of a record album. there are three main types of SACDs: stereo SACDs, which deliver full resolution stereo sound, multichannel SACDs, which deliver the music in surround sound (like guitar in left channel, drums in right, vocals in centre, keyboards in surround right, bass in surround left), and hybrid SACDs, which are combinations of either a stereo or multichannel SACD layer (sometimes both) and a normal CD layer. you can play a hybrid SACD in a normal cd player at normal cd quality, but to play the only stereo SACDs or only multichannel SACDs, or to play the high-resolution layer of the SACD, you need a SACD player. many DVD players now can play SACD, but if you look into one, make absolutely sure it has bass management, or you can't use the multichannel output. because of copywrite restrictions, you cannot hear the SACD layer through dolby digital or dts, so you have to connect six or eight wires to your multichannel reciever, or for stereo, connect two from the standard l/r ports (not the multichannel ones).
