Real movement and dynamics. Most listeners are fine; very sensitive listeners may want to preview first.
“Layered alternative rock production with jangly guitars and harmonica creates moderate textural density, while driving drums provide rhythmic energy without overwhelming harshness. Vocals are expressive and melodic, with predictable structure that avoids sensory overload.”
How to read the result
Safe means gentle and steady — low dynamic swing, no lurches, soft texture. Moderate means there's real movement; most people are fine, but very sensitive listeners may want to preview. Intense means loud dynamics, sharp textures, or sudden changes — approach with care.
The single most useful number is dynamic range. A high value means the quiet parts and loud parts are far apart — the classic trap where you set a comfortable volume during a soft intro and get blasted at the climax. We flag those.
