I expected it to be bad. It's not. It's just sort of a bit out of control. Are you a guitarist? it seemed that care and attention to the guitar tone were given more time than the rest. Take 10 of the guitar, take 1 or 2 of much of the other stuff. The thing that got me is that you have the very obvious left right panning on the voices, and then just a huge mass of sound that's squashed to hell and mega loud. The synth does seem to have a time of itself - and the voices are as others have said - behind then ahead, and with all the syncopated rhythms the singers get out of the groove, and both differently, so the clarity suffers. It's also MEGA loud. I loaded it up and there is no headroom at all, and everything is stuck to the maximum level. Look at the waveform - just slammed from just after the start, and the spectral display shows every single bit of spectrum available is full. There are also quite noticeable sharp EQ where quite hard EQ cuts and boosts happen. All this just makes what could be a great song really hard to listen too - for my ears, just hugely squashed and slashed.
