Why on earth should being impartial cause someone to hate you? Crucially, we bring fresh ears connected to a brain that is not emotionally directly connected to the material. This gives us insights the artist might miss through their involvement with the subject. That's invaluable to any artist that strives for a happy, abundant audience, surely?
Now, the image shows a total absense of upper mids, the range where our hearing works best (1kHz-5kHz). The record comes over as being excessively muddy and heavy for this reason. Let's not forget that frequency is emotion. And there's not a darn thing above 4kHz whatsoever! Vintage is no excuse, sorry
Considering the ear's non-linear characteristics with this skew, a louder playback will make it go really pear shaped because of the way bass is perceived to lower in frequency with increasing loudness. This is desperately missing overtones in all respects. The lower mids are not balanced by the upper elements, so they appear even more congested.
The image is taken of the average spectrum with Span, upto the point where the vocal commences.
Just something to think about.
