I don't have an SACD player. http://www.netphoria.org/wwwboard/icons/icon8.gif

BUT, it does have a stereo mix on there as well to play in normal disc players, and in my opinion, it is THE best sounding CD I have ever heard. EVERYTHING is crystal clear. It even beats the MFSL version of Dark Side. James Guthrie is the fucking man. Listening with headphones is eargasmic.

Even if you already have TDSotM, go get this one.

as good as it may be,

they raped the cover.

I like the cover art. I'm pretty sure they changed it to show that this isn't the same old Dark Side, what with the different mix for SACD. It makes sense to me for them to do it. As with a lot of Storm's work, there's hidden images, too.

even if the album sounds prettier, certain things shouldn't be fucked with.

Isn't only the SACD part of the disc remastered and remixed in 5.1?
And I agree, the new cover pales in comparison to the original.
