"It's about climbing up a mountain and the different things that can happen to you when you're stranded on a mountain, in the woods, and you're lost. You're starving, hallucinating, running into strange creatures. You're being hunted. It's about that whole struggle." - Sanders
sure that may have been what they were going for in terms of the broad strokes but the execution was poor in the specifics

okay I figured out why I don't like the mix. there's no "depth" to it -- all the instruments sound like they're on the same plane. ideally, some pieces are fuzzier, clearer, have echo, feel crisp, all sorts of variation to sound distant or near (which is what reverb simulates). problem is, when you play something on laptop speakers or over Bluetooth, those details are lost, and sometimes the pieces are lost with them. hence, this has been compressed to one "plane" in anticipation of it being more widely heard over differing mediums, but through a proper sound system it feels lifeless.
tl;dr loudness wars, over-compression, etc

So basically it crackles to the point of making your headphones sound like they're breaking apart? This is what I expected but hoped wouldn't happen.

n...o, that's a different but related matter. I actually don't hear much crackle in this, fortunately.

Yeah it's clean, but on good speakers/headphones it sounds like it's all coming from one place, instead of (for example headphones) it feeling like there's music coming from all different areas, like far away or behind you etc. It's just kinda all there in one place.
I think that's kind of what you're trying to say right?

ideally yes, but here it's mixed so that it's two-dimensional. there's no head space...it's the difference between a wall of sound and a room of sound. like, there are three axes in mixing: X (pan), Y (frequency), and Z (depth). the Z axis takes more mixing skill from the producer since it's created by everything working together. it also doesn't really come through well on "average" speakers, so it's just done away with entirely here. it's part of what makes CtS a "headphones album" -- it's got a clear Z axis, so you exist within the music instead of observing it from outside. it's immersive.
