Query: Fantastic Album, Horrible Encoding

I adore this album, and purchased the MP3 album to replace a lost CD from Amazon. The encodings are horrible, full of crackle and hiss in all but the most quiet tracks. It appears that the encoding was done from a CD with a diminished dynamic range, which was compounded by the loss of quality inherent in MP3 encoding.In short? Buy the CD, and rip it yourself unless you are mostly deaf.
