im sorry for asking but... just WTF is the difference?
VBR is a changing bit rate, so essentially changing quality. Like when its only percussion at the beginning your not gonna need as much quality as when its the climax. With this you can save a lot of space. In this case its 197 VBR so essentially its like a 224 CBR (IMG:

oh, and thanks for the album!
btw, just how do people get their hands on albums like this before they're released?
Promo's usually. Sometimes there are leakers who work at labels, Beatport etc and they give the stuff before the release date to the pirating community.
