You hear a loud puree of sound, with little inner detail...... The textures to the instruments are missing in action..........
In an orchestral track, the crescendos "blast". In a rock track, it's just loud, with no sense of attacks and decays in the drums and cymbals, and no sense of "tone" in the electric guitars. Female vocals tend to sound piercing.
The overall presentation is a "loud wall of sound" rather than "real musicians performing in real space"............
