Verdict: Style flex with thin song architecture.
I clocked Copycat as an engineering problem solved with restraint — a dry vocal against wet verbs is the through-line that keeps the arrangement coherent.
Structurally it is verse-led with delayed lift: verse economy, then a chorus that repeats without escalating. The pre-chorus functions as a gain bridge more than a melodic tease.
Compression choices feel intentionally slammed. If you chase transient detail, listen for a reverse swell into the pre — it is where the arrangement either earns or wastes its drama.
Measured take from the DAW seat: 5.1/10. Style flex with thin song architecture.

agree on the vocal — headphones required or you’re missing half the song.
I get the critique but the hook has been stuck in my head for a week, so…
member take: better than the algorithm suggested. algorithm has no taste.
