I agree. I'll fix it. I also agree with the pumping. However, that's not really an argument against the mix, but the compression during finalization. If I didn't reduce the peaks of the final mix to the extent that I did, there's a very good chance that the drums would have sounded fine. That being said, I will fix the levels, because I do think that this is a good point.

This is hyperbole, and it isn't helpful. If the only criticisms you can muster thus far are of a few minor level choices, nonexistent scooping in the vocals, and time alignment errors in the vocals, then "wrecked" is quite clearly an exaggeration.

Bullshit. They're all perfectly in time if you listen, and I can give you a picture of the waveforms against the grid if you really want to press the matter. The male bridge vocal was placed at the end as a hook (because it works), and there's a backup vocal out of the left channel during the choruses that was copied from the final chorus. It is also perfectly in time.

I'm perfectly open to criticism and taking your advice, but if you're going to criticize and offer advice you either need to pay better attention or stop making stuff up. Sorry, but several of these statements were demonstrably erroneous.
