This production style is why the is essential for this specific album. The mix is spacious and layered; lossy formats (like MP3) tend to flatten the immersive reverb and the subtle textural details that Eno and Lanois meticulously crafted. Hearing the "room sound" in the drums or the decay of the guitar delay requires the dynamic range that lossless audio provides.
