I have to say this is my first album I am buying in FLAC. Downloading to my phone right now. I just loved the audiophile and nerds section that the FLAC selection was found in. Can't wait till it is finished downloading and then I unzip it. I am excited.

Hey, the FLAC files are 16 bit 44kHz just like the CD. Wasn't they supposed to be 24 bit 192 kHz?

For example, for MP3 downloads the audio is resampled to 44.1kHz. FLAC downloads on the other hand are bit-for-bit identical to the audio you upload, all the way to 24/192. When your fans get their mitts on this they’ll bounce around like 6-year-olds hopped up on Pixy Stix!"

I haven't yet, but I did download the album artwork...it looks great! It's all rock-n-roll except for the pic on the back that to me is John's "Tony Bennett" pic. By that I mean the pose and style, not that he actually looks like Tony Bennett :)

This is the first album I've bought since... I don't know when actually. My first impressions are very positive but I'm a bit surprised that it's ending with two calmer songs in a row.

Boray, The Cross Remains is actually not an integral part of The Greater Cause. I was recorded and released for ACLJ even before the Kickstarter campaign started. So it's sort of a bonus song. That's why it's probably added to the end.

Maybe this have been all said before but I feel a really strong vibe from "Unfit for Swine" (which is my favorite John Schlitt solo album so far - will be interesting to see it that lasts).

I had forgotten that it was orginally not produced for TGC, but too be honest I think it fits nicely in with the message of the whole album.
