From a direct songwriting point of view. This type of style and material has already been covered by at least 5 bands. You have to be original and less in line with other already well known groups to really be heard. Also you need some change in melody between differing sections of the song to maintain attention of the listener. Ie change the melody and phrasing (timing) in different sections. Verse different from chorus and both different than the bridge etc, etc.

You seem to be a fine musician and if you find your niche your music could go from good to great. IMO. I enjoyed the listen. Thanks for sharing your music.
I can agree with the over compression. But "This type of style and material has already been covered by at least 5 bands". REALLY? I'm not trying to get defensive here but I'd like to know what music you've heard that sounds anything like this. Maybe I put the wrong song up for you. I think If ANYTHING its original. Call it terribly structured, noisy, show off, not song written. But not Original? I put another song up just to make sure. This one needs a lot of work. Specifically Auto-tuning, and copy pasting harmonies. I'm very curious to know how this is not original. I'm always open to new perspectives. Thank you.
