The before sample is extremely mono, hardly any side information at all. The after sample, on the other hand, is a very unconventional stereo mix. It's awkward having the drums on the far left. And there aren't any dynamics! Might as well just get ride of the drums altogether.
Yup, I'm positive. I used Waves S1 Shuffler to widen it. I noticed what you were saying about the drums being off to the left. Basically I had to choose from either having the drums to the left or the vocals to the right - ultimately I chose the vocals, because the drums are pretty quiet anyways.

As for the dynamics... yeah I crushed them pretty well. I'll try backing off em a bit, although I'm not sure what I can do - the whole song is a mess, I'm just trying to salvage it
