One does wonder what speakers/EQ target curve were used to mix and master it.
Probably made for small bookshelf speakers or boom boxes. I've heard a lot of top 40 music that's better mixed and mastered than this.

Post some nice examples of tracks with elevated/"exaggerated" trebles. Some that you feel sound too bright on a neutral speakers/headphones and can become "problematic/annoying" on those with treble emphasis. Material sometimes referred to in reviews like "already bright tracks".
For testing female vocal sibilance I play
Sweet Jane (Cowboy Junkies).
