I only have the regular cd and the sibilance in the voice can´t be related to the peaks at these high frequencies of your graph. On the cd the noisefloor is flat on silent parts. On several parts when an instrument comes in i see noise rising steeply on to 22kHz. This looks like on that instrument track was used some highly noise-shaped dither. Most likely that instrument was captured at 16/44.1 and was put into the mix. This doesn´t matter on the 16/44.1 version but makes a higher sampling rate version a bit weird looking (spectral). They surely used 24/192 or higher for mastering. Since HDtracks sells masters, this is most likely very real. Nothing to complain. You asked for the master, you got it. Of course the question is now if sound engineers have to master their masterpiece looking good in spectral graphs or is it enough to sound right!?
