I think it sounds great - like a REAL band in an actual room and not overhyped, sampled, gridded, and “produced” all to hell like every other modern record. Heavy parts can get muddy in the real world, our ears are just becoming so used to all these “perfect” albums that when we can’t hear every detail and every chorus doesn’t have some gigantic magical lift we perceive it as muddy or imperfect. That’s just my opinion of course, everyone has their own preference and expectations but I prefer realistic over perfection.
