no need to leave...
sounds like the guts of a good tune. and the productions isnt as bad as u made out. i think alot of it may boil down to the samples/sounds u used and how u balanced them.
check out the big mans tips on layer kicks and eq (aswell as the rest) and sit down to a solid session of layer 2 or more kicks to get the beef going.

a bit of reverb or spacial delay would open out a few elements too. by spacial it could be -> say for example in reason, add a delay, turn the sync to milliseconds and take it back to about 30 or so, works nice on percussion elements. the waves doubler 4 does something similar but better if u have it.
look forward to hearing the next draft ;)
