A Mercury Prize-nominated breakthrough that explored themes of masculinity and vulnerability. Lossless formats allow the complex drum patterns in "Colossus" and "Danny Nedelko" to breathe with greater dynamic range. "Colossus," "Danny Nedelko," "Samaritans

From a production standpoint, Joy is warmer but no less heavy than its predecessor. The track "Colossus" is perhaps the best argument for owning this discography in FLAC. The song builds slowly over four minutes with a marching, ominous beat and a sub-bass thrum that cheap headphones fail to reproduce. The track then suddenly cuts to silence before exploding into a fast-paced garage-rock rave-up. The sheer headroom provided by lossless audio ensures that this explosive transition retains its maximum acoustic impact without clipping or distortion. The choral vocal layers in "Danny Nedelko" also achieve a spacious, live-in-the-room feel that compressed formats flatten.

FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) ensures that the grit of Joe Talbot’s vocals, the punch of Jon Beavis's drums, and the feedback-driven guitars of Mark Bowen and Lee Kiernan are preserved exactly as they were mixed.

The controversial beast. Heavier, more industrial, and polarizing. In lossless format, the production by Nick Launay (Nick Cave, Arcade Fire) shines—especially the guest vocal spots (Warren Ellis, Jehnny Beth). The bass synth on “Grounds” and the compressed guitar on “Model Village” * are a test for any hi-fi system.
