The videos on Lana's YouTube have been compressed twice, which is why you might think it sounds better than the iTunes version when it actually sounds worse than the master.

We're not just comparing it to the Youtube versions but also the direct downloads from Amazon/Google Play Store which are NOTICABLE higher quality than iTunes, which is unusual since iTunes is usually higher quality than Amazon, but since Google Play is 320kbps, it's not quite as HQ as them.
Well I couldn't find anywhere to actually hear Google Play/Amazon versions, so I just bought "Ride" from Amazon and OMG the quality difference from iTunes purchase.
Sorry. I just assumed the studios would give out the same quality copies for the digital stores. Since I'm in Australia I can't compare with Amazon mp3 and Google Play.

EDIT: Also got "Blue Velvet," same thing.
My blue velvet sounds fine from iTunes, it's just Ride and Burning Desire
Mine was unnecessarily crispy. Maybe it was my settings, I turn everything up in the get info. But it sounds better from Amazon.
I'll have to deal with "Burning Desire" until the release, though. It's not on Amazon.
That's probably why, when you make it louder it decreases the quality I've noticed, and Burning Desire will never be on Amazon, it's an iTunes bonus, we'll have to wait until iTunes fixes the quality
