That is very strange! I just went to the iTunes store and listened to the previews on both the deluxe and regular versions. The regular album's track sounds fine, like the one I love, but the deluxe one is the slow yucky version. And yet, I bought the regular version and that's the file I have! SO confusing!

I definitely hear you on Gabe needing to rest his voice. He doesn't sound 100% on this album, but I'm finding it's not distracting me too much.
