I have to say this, I own a recording studio and have been doing this for a living for around 15 years now. So it's not ruined, but I probably listen to things a lot differently than most people. I'm not saying that to be braggadocios or anything. It's not like I have golden freaking ears and my opinion is any more valid than yours, all that just to say I'm listening to this differently more than likely.
I've thought about producing that song for like a decade now. I'm just shocked at how they went about doing the song as it seemed so strait forward to me, and this recording is anything but. Plus, I'm just not a fan of Batson's production style.
I could make a laundry list of issues I have with the way they did the song. If I had to sum it up, they tried way too hard in my opinion. It doesn't sound anything like the recording I have somewhere of the first time they played the song. It was perfect then in my opinion. I have constant battles with artists when they try to drag out production and songwriting, sometimes spanning over years. This just sounds like a classic case of them having too much time to mess with a song that was already strong to begin with.
