Great album, very good riffs... but the mixing is more than compressed, like the engineers cut out a lot of bytes and replaced them with some low bandwidth presets... 80% of the sounds present here are linear distortions and nothing more... like a constant hiss.
The composition is great.
The release, even on high definition on Tidal or any streaming service is completely unlistenable. Your fingers goes directly to the volume knob, like a reflex.
They use agresive level equalisation, you can here how low freq are being leveling down when the voice came up( there is no voice, just some hissssss)
The Cure record this by WhatsApp file transfer and they're engineer mix on a iPhone with Apple headphones.
Is the worst recording ever forever.
