Sorry--I tried.
 
I hear a pretty good song here. I like those haunting bkgnd vox! You have a good voice - Let's HEAR it! Beef up those vox some. Try some layering and pushing them up a little. The drums are not very well defined, I'm not sure what's going on there - perhaps the cymbals are too high. The guitars seem a little loud and I'm really not diggin' the tone your are using for this song. More crunch and bark, less fizz.

:)
 
That is most defintiely NOT a good "master", mix, or anything. It's a mess. It's all distortion and fuzz and harshness. What's your monitoring setup that led you to believe this was good? :confused:

Go back to the drawing board and create a good MIX before you squash it with mastering plug-ins. The mix should be clean and everything should be audible in it's own space. You took a bad mix and made it worse by trying to "master" it. Sorry, but it is what it is.

Yep, the song might be good but the mix just doesn't work. It lacks so much definition. :(

You know, basically I think that you do have talent.....but you're not giving it a chance here. Probably a case of trying to run before you can walk. The mix is pure mud and the performance is lacking timing-wise. I don't know what you mastered here, maybe you're mixing up mastering with mixing, two completely different things. If you really did master, try learning how to mix properly first. I'm not trying to put you off, but try to go step by step and in time your recordings will start to sound better.
My 2 cents....
 
Not to pile on, as I can hear many elements of a good piece in this, but you have a pretty jumbled, cluttered thing happening here.

There are timing issues from the outset that are noticeable enough to be distracting. In terms of clutter, everything is fighting for space in a broad mid-range of frequencies. Nothing is able to take center stage.

I would suggest backing up a few steps and sorting out the timing, then work on separation, then build from there.
