: 24-bit audio allows for a significantly higher theoretical dynamic range (up to 144 dB compared to the CD’s 96 dB), which is crucial for Tool’s signature "quiet-to-loud" transitions.

Standard CDs offer 16-bit/44.1kHz resolution. The 24-bit/96kHz FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) version provides a significantly higher dynamic range and frequency response. While the upper limits of human hearing cap out around 20kHz, the "inaudible" ultrasonic frequencies captured at 96kHz can interact with audible sound, affecting the perception of air, space, and instrument decay.

Engineer Joe Barresi (who mixed the album) deliberately preserved massive dynamic range. In the version, the average loudness (LUFS) hovers around -16dB, which is incredibly quiet by modern standards. You will have to turn your amplifier up . But when the heavy sections hit, they hit with the force of a wrecking ball because the headroom is intact. : 24-bit audio allows for a significantly higher
