I'd heard this song on the car radio quite a few times in the last year, and always thought it had an earworm / addictive quality to it. So much so I would sometimes turn the station. But I started listening to it in the studio a couple days ago. It's interesting, and I'm curious to hear y'all's thoughts from an engineering standpoint.
It sounds fine in my nearfields, but is strange on headphones. On my Sennheiser HD600s, it is practically unlistenable for me. The esses on Chris Martin's voice are so harsh and pronounced it is quite frankly unbelievable. To the point of me wondering if my HD600s are broken. On my ATH-M50s, it's fine. The esses are controlled enough to not bother me. But I'm hearing so much high frequency distortion on the M50s that it's just crazy. Am I nuts?? Are any of you hearing something similar?
This is the original mix I'm talking about, not the bizarre number of "remixes" available.
