I was totally put off by the insane amount of bass in this album, to the point it was unlistenable on my system
Recently I gave it a relisten with bass turned down to -24 db from my usual listening level of -15 db on my minidsped triple sub system
Now it was listenable to, with tolerable bass and enjoyable music
I am talking about the spotify premium version
Decided to pick up the vinyl
I am still shocked by the recording choices on this record
Would love to hear about your thoughts/ experiences with this album
It's a lot of deep bass and the level is mixed high on the album. Still, if you find it totally overwhelming on your system making it unlistenable it's possible your subwoofers need to be better integrated with your main speakers and your room, or maybe you have some ugly bass modes in your room.
You should be able to quite easily hear if it's your system/room that is the cause of the problem. Try listening to the album with some bass-capable headphones, and if you still find it unlistenable it's probably you who prefers less bass than Billie and her brother.
