Honestly, the vocals need a lot of work. The transition notes are way pitchy, and even the hold out notes are fast and loose with the pitch. Is this a genre the singer is generally comfy with? I was just wondering if maybe they are stepping out of their comfort zone a little, which obviously isn't a bad thing, but might need to spend a lot more time practicing. Good voice texture, attractive, but just way out of tune all over this song.
I love your version of the lead break - better than the original. I agree with you, I'm not sure what he's doing on guitar on that part but I never cared for it. I am impressed with what you came up with. It still has that pocket and feel when it breaks to that part, but your guitar work is way more interesting and pleasing.
Those addictive drums sound pretty damn good too. I didn't expect that.
