Headphones

What a great piece of music.

A question for headphone users - on all headphones I own (Sennheiser, Beyer, Hifiman, FiiO & others), deep bass on this track sounds very heavily distorted from the 50 sec mark & as far as I can tell this is on the master rather than overloaded via headphones.

This YouTube link (1080pHD) sounds exactly the same as via Amazon Music Unlimited HD or Apple Music:

Is anyone else able to play this without distortion on their own setup or is it just too much for any headphone?

yeh some of us like a bit of distortion when used musically. it's a matter of taste, i guess... that's the way they recorded it.

There are songs out there that were either poorly recorded OR where the effect was done on purpose. Don't know if that's the case with this one but it is a possibility, especially if other material with deep/loud bass or subsonic material sounds OK on your setup.

Yes, but you have to like it

I have plenty of recordings in my rather eclectic collection (and also streamed material) where I find the recording quality either mediocre, or sometimes so poor that I have to wonder what the engineer, artist and/or producer thought they were doing! But, like everything else in life, there are a wide variety of tastes out there. Just because I think something is a screw-up doesn't mean someone else isn't loving it.

Fine by me...for me it's gruesome, I speak for myself and not for others.
