if it was good mastered it would be, it sounds very crystal clear for a bad mastered album imo,
I knew it before I downloaded it that it was bad mastered,
so I use my EQ/turntable to adjust it and notice that the intention was to make it crystal clear,
EQ adjustment + very good soundsystem and 5 times listen equals my conclusion
I understand your post, of course, it was more the production itself, should have been more clear
