B-- It sounds pleasant overall, with some uneven spots that hint at room for refinement. Vocals remain pleasant despite the imperfections.
Average Technical Grade
C- Even moderate complexity exposes the limited resolution and narrow sense of space. Technical fans will find it lacking.

Average Technical & Tuning Grades
Average Tunign Grade
C- Expect a patchy tonal profile that makes instrumentation feel mismatched. EQ is almost mandatory to tame the response.
Average Technical Grade
C-- Details smear quickly, leaving the presentation cramped and low on definition. You'll notice smearing on even moderately layered songs.
