Your best best for indoor listening is to get yourself good open backs - typically, the Sennheiser HD's - which gives the best balance, then learn the tricks of the trade to boost and cut what you need to really flesh it out the way it was meant to be!

But in some cases it really is just the original production, not much you can do about that.

There was a period around maybe the late 90's to 2000's, where music was just mega-compressed to the point that these days I find it hard to listen to. Cradle of Filth, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Muse... listening to their albums around this date is insufferable now - which is a shame because I find the music itself so great.

(If you don't know, compression makes the quiet parts loud and the loud parts quiet, overall maximizing total volume. The peak of the 'loudness wars', and it was a curse upon music everywhere)
