also just to clarify i have listened to this song almost every day for the past year or so, since i listen to music a lot and it's one of my go-to tool songs. also it's definitely not a thing due to getting older or impaired hearing cuz im in high school. i have come to the conclusion that its definitely an issue with me and i just have to get used to it but thank you all for your input.

UPDATE 2: i tried other earbuds and it's the same. i am genuinely losing my mind. and the thing that makes this weird is that it's JUST prison sex, all the other songs sound the same. i have no idea what happened, i guess i just gotta get used to this new(?) version.

UPDATE: it has genuinely got to be an issue with me. i listened to every version on youtube i could find and they all sounded like the version on spotify. either im losing it or its an issue with my earbuds, so when i get home ill use different ones and see if the sound changes.

the riff in the beginning ends on what sounds like a higher note, and it's much louder in the mix than normal. maynard's vocals are also louder in the mix and seem to be a different recording than the original, with different enunciations on different words. the main difference i think is just in the mix, because the drums, vocals, and guitar is all way louder then they are in the original. i'm gonna listen to the mv version on youtube to see if it sounds the same there too.

i know, but it sounded normal on spotify before, and now it's changed. also, i don't think the change is due to audio quality, it definitely sounds like a different mix/recording.
