I wouldn't call it distortion so much as I hear the choir driving whatever mics they're using hard. It's not horrible clipping, I've heard much worse with my music, but the mics are definitely being saturated
There is definitely some when the chorus raise their voice and hold the note. I have definitely heard worse. Still very enjoyable, and now I have more music to listen to.
I’m very sensitive to clipping and it really bugs me. I’m listening on Apple lossless and not Tidal but I heard nothing that bothered me in the passage in question. I’d say they have perfectly placed and mixed those mics for the effect they are trying to achieve. Really nice DR too.
I should say nice DR to mix balance - for the level of detail they’re capturing nice job not squashing or clipping. Ref Tool’s last album for the opposite.
