SinSeattle - Baracade (I'd love your feedback!)

I've gotten this track to the point where I think the main things left to take care of is dealing with the levels and some mastering. I'd love to hear what you think in regards to various systems and levels.

All thoughts welcome!

Listen you scoundrels!

I think the composition is very good. It could use some polishing here and there to clean up the audio. I heard some clicks and pops where the song needs fades/crossfades. Also you're right that you need to mix and master it a bit. Check out izotope ozone if you haven't already. The ability to eq mid/side is super awesome. Makes night and day difference with the overall mix. My only issue is that it feels a bit lacking in the drums department. The kick is getting lost in the mix a bit. To correct this consider adding a compressor to the instruments and side chain it to the kick. That way it'll pump a bit and let the kick through. Also adding EQ then boosting around the 1k-2k frequencies will bring out the beater which also will help. Be careful though because 1k-2k are pain frequencies.

Hope any of that helps. Good work!
