Seriously breh, listen to this album with some high quality headphones on. I'm not even judging the content of the album, just sound quality. It is mixed perfectly. I didn't just pull a random album out my ass.

It's good but would you really put it on the same level as 2001?

If its mixed with high sonic quality, it shouldn't need high quality headphones.

how the hell do you determine how well an album is engineered? Like theres albums with shyt mixing, and albums with not shyt mixing. Occasionally theres really well mixed albums, but personally i dont usually notice shyt like that. As a producer, I listen for how well the tracks are produced, IDK about engineering i just hear for how good the production is, and how well it was mixed.
