This album doesn't contain much low bass, which inherently replies on the midbass and all the upper range quality. I like how my rig could resolve lots of complex and twisty synth squiggles, guitar screams, and bass lines. Susvara also did a fantastic job in communicating Paul Thompson's nuanced kickdrum in terms of both subtle microdynamic gradation and heavy kicks. Albeit a bit analytic (which I indeed look after), I'd take this presentation over excessive lower midbass boom any day.

Alan Jackson has one beautiful voice and is a hell a guitar player song writer. The King of Country music in my book. Plenty of piano, violin, steel and acoustic guitar for sheer pleasure. One of my go to singers for testing Hp's. Very good quality recordings. If you haven't heard his music then you haven't listened to the best country music has to offer.

HD650 < Luxman R-113 < Loxjie D30 < Amazon Music HD.
