Would you like a cue sheet or log file example for this rip, or assistance with tagging the FLAC files?

Once ripped to FLAC, tag the files properly:

You will pay $10–$20 for a used CD on Discogs or eBay. You will spend 15 minutes configuring Exact Audio Copy. And then, the first time "Foreword" plays back in full, unadulterated 1,411 kbps lossless audio, you will understand: This is how Tyler heard it in the mastering suite. This is the truth.

Tyler’s most vulnerable moment. The quiet rain sample and sparse piano are free of compression artifacts, making his coded coming-out lines even more powerful.

Streaming platforms apply normalization (loudness penalty) to compete in loudness wars. When you rip your own FLAC from the 2017 CD, you get the pre-normalized master. The quiet moments on "November" are truly quiet; the explosive horns on "I Ain’t Got Time!" hit with unexpected ferocity.
