I streamed it on the Youtube Music app. I have it set for max quality. Its not like listening to lossless files, but its absolutely fine. This record is just loud like Death Magnetic is. They really saturated the hell out of almost everything. Makes for a harsh listen IMO. Lots of cool shit going on in the mix, but it feels smeared out in the 3khz to 6khz range.
Could be the Youtube compression, at least I hope
The album is available for streaming on Bandcamp

Damn, they made the same mistake with The Blackening (Machine Head), great album but too loud.
I’d get it for some funk or rock you really want to give a “oomph” factor, but I don’t see the point when your music is already (very) aggressive.
