As you write, Kingdom of Mustang's lyrics are more clear in the mix. I've found that a very large percentage of indie bands these days bury their vocals in the mix and have me deciphering the lyrics. I'm a prose and poetry writer. Lyrics are just as important to me as melody. I remember that Nirvana's lyrics were initially difficult for my classic rock ears to hear. Now, Nirvana's words are just as clear as Foreigner's!

Half the records to which I listen, the vocals are muddled or buried in the mix. I like the label to include the lyrics in the package.
