I really wish they would have released this on SACD or DVD audio, though, because the disc sounds a bit like it doesn't jump out as much as Lateralus' more colorful moments did. Maybe they still will, because it would probably eliminate any compression artifacts.
The CD though, still sounds impeccable, though for the most part.

yeah, sections of vicarious are among the worst on the album AND I LIKE THAT SONG :(
an SACD would be absolutely perfect for this album ( with its far larger response range), and a DSD derived hybrid/CD layer for the non-SACDers
DVD-A is good too and could certainly solve 10kd's problems
