This is a great example, actually. Random Access Memories sounds pretty good, but has poor DR scores. Also, the scores for NIN's Hesitation Marks Audiophile Mastered release aren't great either. Heavily-synthesized music does seem to reflect poorly in general in DR terms, so I wouldn't use this as an arbiter of whether a record is going to sound good or not. You could also have had an original CD master done with terrible ADCs that would be dynamic, but harsh, and a modern remaster which was more compressed but done on much better converters that could sound a whole lot better, despite having a worse DR score. Two track 1's and no track 2 after a scan for new and changed?
