I found this extremely interesting.

Kind of like a Ukrainian Leonard Cohen--but more fun, and less depressing, with a lot of flair. I thought the selection of Real Tracks here was creative and inspired, not at all what I would have imagined. I like that.

The backing tracks sounded fine to me. Sure, maybe some tweaks needed, but otherwise not bad at all for starting out with real tracks.

I liked the lyrics and I actually liked the vocals. I found them to be very engaging and refreshing even if they did need to come up some. For a "style" or genre I can kind of see it being its own thing. It has personality. I was surprised at how much I liked it actually.

Not to be long-winded, but I would start with one good plug-in for each standard instrument track.

I believe Waves has a "CLA" set that covers all instruments--bass, guitars, vocals, etc. If you used the presets on such plugins (five or six in all, for example) they would get you in the ballpark of the frequency dynamics you wanted for each instrument track with only 6 good plugins and you could tweak from there.

This way you would have very little to do in the mastering stage except use the cheap version of Ozone 8 Essentials.

If you use a hodge-podge of VSTS from different companies, things can get really confusing real fast.

Trust me. I have 500 plugins. I know confusing.

But anyway, I think this is extremely interesting and I strongly encourage you to keep being yourself and keep experimenting.

I like what I hear going on.
