I also saw them a couple of weeks ago with Mastodon closing, but I honestly think it would have worked better the other way around. It felt like the crowd used up all of their energy on Gojira and didn’t have much left for Mastodon. I saw quite a few people leave early. For what it’s worth, I was there mainly to see Mastodon, but Gojira ended up being the highlight for me. They went hard.
I’d be curious to hear other people’s experience with this test. Personally, the two quality levels are completely indistinguishable for me. And that was sitting in a quiet room, using decent quality wired headphones, and really concentrating.
At least I know there will be no need for me to upgrade my subscription if Spotify ever does start offering uncompressed.
This thread is going to haunt me. One day, years from now while lying in bed and slowly drifting off to sleep, I'll suddenly sit bolt upright and exclaim, "Why couldn't that dude poop!?"
