Hi Lethan. Two things stick out for me. First, The string hits are uncomfortably shrill. I'm listening on ear-buds and I had to turn the volume down to a bare whisper get through the track. And second, the distorted guitar just seems to loudly sputter along without really adding to the overall soundscape. After a few more listens I find the rest of the parts to be fine. The vocals are balanced and easily heard above the mix, and the bass and drums work well together.
Overall, that guitar is hard to listen to and not an aesthetic I find pleasing, and the overly bright strings make me reach for the volume knob, but not in a good way. Well, that's just my 2 pennies worth.
