Have an average song recorded and produced in a better way and it could make a lot of difference.

Well put, I couldn't agree more. The song could have been a decent thrasher, but it sounds so neutered in the studio. A song like this needs a bit of a rougher production quality. Maybe throw a little distortion on the vocals, make the James leads nice and chunky ETC.
I don't know why Ruben has this epic reputation for rock music. The guy has only really excelled with his hip-hop stuff.
