The jump from the prechorus to the chorus is… a lot.
Those heavy guitars are also really, really harsh. Something like the Bobby Huff EQ trick would be a good idea https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thw50ovjjDs
I do quite like the swishy noises in the 2nd verse.
The bridge seems a little confused as well. The drums are POUNDING but the lead guitar sounds like it belongs on a U2 or Snow Patrol song. I actually like that personally, but it doesn’t feel like all the pieces quite fit together.
Refreshing take!
Really like the bass in particular. Knowing what notes NOT to play can be huge.
I think the piano itself sounds a bit thin – some parallels compression or distortion can add presence without messing up the original signal too much.
