so you don’t like the master
it’s definitely much brighter than his earlier work, but the mastering is excellent. it’s simply a choice of sound, which favors clarity and sharpness over low end
in a good system it shouldn’t hurt your ears at all
FOCUS's himself said that mastering was dissapointing. who ever was responsible for mastering fucked it up and they didnt have time to fix it.
so you dont have to justify it bro.
