He did like Slayer's "Reign in Blood", so lifetime pass.

Nah, they're friends again. Izzy even played 13 shows with Gn'R on their European tour and Duff has also played with them on one occasion. The old band is mostly on friendly terms with each other, only Axl and Slash would like to rip each other's throats out. Mostly Axl and mostly Slash's.

Vinyl rips in FLAC at 96 kHz and 24 bit are quite commonplace. Other lossless encoding algorithms (e.g. Apple Lossless) are also up to the task.

While I enjoy the music to a large degree, the fact that it's completely brickwalled is somewhat detrimental. I mean, Metallica epitomised the brickwall with "Death Magnetic", but "Noctourniquet"? Recommended album gain -12.44 dB?

If you consider the last five tracks on the album as one, then McCartney had four songs on the album (albeit one of them was very long and eclectic), whereas Lennon had six. Not exactly domination from Macca's part, no?
