Hi there, any advice why this track got rejected. I’m brand new to this, so any advice would be greatly appreciated as I’ve got a lot of tracks but reluctant to upload them if I’m doing something fundamentally wrong. Many thanks in advance

Hi,
Here are some moments I paid attention to:
-Intro (first 8 seconds) is a mess. Your mute guitar and reverse or fade in guitar, they don’t work together. For me they sound like in different keys.
-from 1:20 to 1:28 guitars sound dirty
-1:54 solo guitar is out of time
-2:04-2:06 solo guitar is out of time
-coda, you ended with G sus 2 chord in the key of D, in my opinion it isn’t a good choice, but it’s very subjective.
-Your mix. It sounds muddy and flat. The drums sound like you used a prepared rhythm pattern from one of the famous drum VSTi, like EZdrummer or Slate Drums and you didn’t do with the drum sound anything.
-There is no balance between kick and bass
-High end sound a bit harsh for my taste
Hopefully, it will help you and I’m sorry in advance, if my words sound a bit harsh for you.
Best of luck!
Thank you for taking the time to listen to the track and your honest reply
