Ok, I bit ā¦ so to speak. 
Very interesting observation. Based on this, I would think one of the following tracks, which has over 4x the DR as some of the others, would not sound nearly as pleasing to you. So which one is it do you think? No cheating by looking at the file info in Roon.

Roon says the CD has an overall average DR of 5. My rip is of this version. The track Iām talking about has a DR of 2x the CD average.
I must admit that this thread has gotten me intrigued about what people hear and the various explanations for why they do. I hear a clear difference between the one track with the much higher DR vs. the others, so Iām trying to see if I can appreciate what youāre getting at, especially with these perhaps not so highly-resolving 8 year old Sonos speakers and antiquated ears.
So the first track on the album was the one I was talking about, and I personally donāt love boys donāt cry and lovecats of all those songs. They sound like they have lower dynamic range as far as I can tell (not sure how to find it in Roon without playing) but its not so much the mix as the songs (I think) I donāt like. But maybe itās the mix. Whatās the answer to the quiz?
killing an arab 10.3
boys donāt cry 2.5
letās go to bed 3.9
the lovecats 4.2
in between days 3.4
close to me 3.1
