Scanned these and track 1 and 3 are  256kbps files upsampled or something. Also the "FLAC" of this is only 320kbps and not lossless at all.
I don't get how the band fucked up these conversions when uploading?

It sounds fine (my audio comment was more in general since people seem not understand why these things matter) my problem isn't the production (and I loved this record and this production style). My problem is the files say "320kbps" and it's not, so it's taking up more space than it should and also not accurately represented. If I were to download FLAC files, scan them and it says "actually 320kbps" I'd be pretty annoyed especially if I paid money for it. If it's a lower bitrate then actually say that, not upsample it so it takes up more room and misleads people. It's like on Deezer where all this some upsampled shit somehow makes it on there.

Audio quality as well as not misleading the audience matters, I find it strange the site even points out audio codecs/audio quality but doesn't make scanning files that are uploaded to make sure they are actually what they say they are a requirement.

What program do you use to scan for this information? I am a quality nerd as well.

 

I'm not sure if this was my upload of the files but if so, then this demo was bought off Google Play. I wonder if it's the same issue coming off bandcamp vs. there. Anyways, does suck if its not 320kbps nitpicking or not but regardless we can all agree this demo is great and so is their first release! :)

This program is Fakin The Funk, costs money but it's affordable and so far the best audio checker I've come across
Free options are Lossless Audio Checker and Spek

Also the files are upsampled on Deezer too, assuming this post was from Bandcamp.
