... Dynamics ? This song doesn't have any dynamics. They're playing loud every section, there's no part where the guitar takes a lead, or the bass suddenly is more extra, ... it's a live-performance style recording, there aren't any timbre changes, it's a one-shot straight-thru dedal if they wanted a bunch of overdubs or je ne sais quois they would've tracked it. There's nothing that automation would bring to this mix imo, it isn't flat, it's loud, really squashed, brickwalled and kind of tiring to listen to. Don't "master" it so much. Good stereo separation though
