Why does sound check work differently for albums on Apple Music?

Hello!


Recent convert to Apple Music from Spotify. I love the sound quality options Apple Music gives, but have noticed an issue with Sound Check.


Spotify’s normalization setting will use a baseline to normalize all tracks on the same album; I’ve noticed that Music’s Sound Check does not do this. It results in quiet tracks playing louder than some loud tracks cause the app will over compensate in either direction. It’s very noticeable on this album: https://music.apple.com/us/album/the-hearts-of-lonely-people/490819305


Is there any way to fix this so audio will normalize properly when listening to albums in full? Works perfectly for playlist listening, just less great for albums.


Thanks!
