Great job bat. Killer song, playing and production. 
Vocals are sooooo good. Love the lead.
Drums were played really spot on. 
I wish they had a slight touch of room sound. Guitars have some ambience but the drums sound dry. No biggy.
This is a good one - one of my favorites from you.

Nice...    Loved the main riff/groove - cool and slinky, and maybe just a little sleazy.         Actually reminded me a little of Vai. 
 
Guitars are kickin' as always, and the bass and drums fill the middle nicely.     About the only nit I could pick is maybe just a little more width on those vocal harmonies.    You know, to balance those wide and chunky guitars.

thanks rimshot, for listening and commenting.
when i remix these, i'll be focusing on a much more aggressive drum sound,
based on mix decisions.......
and maybe some effects.
 
the guitars were recorded in a big room..
with a lot of room bleed on them.
 
 
the drums were done in a really tight quiet studio room,
and have very little ambience, other than tight room sound, on them.
 
i'll play around with the overheads, and see if i can add some ambience to them

Great production! I love the dry background guitar sound together with the solo guitar - tasty. I hear some Jon Anderson (Yes) and I think it is because of the harmonies more than the high pitch. Lovely!

thanks for listening, stevec....
 
and yes, SLEAZY was exactly what i was going for!!

 
vocals:
i gotta check out the original mix on those harmonies...
ususally, i do spread them just a bit...
trying to keep them around center, with everything else floating to the left and right of that...
but, the drums sometimes dicatates how far out i can go with the vocal mix...
 
i really dig a lot of early rundgren mixes,
as well as the stuff Bill Cooper used to do with 3 dog night...
and they would have vocals panned all the way left or right (a lot of LCR mixing back then, but i still find that ANYWHERE you can pan in the stereo field, is a valid spot)

Outstanding Bats!!! I am one of those types that do not enjoy getting hurt (pain) by spicy, hot foods but I absoflippinlutely love this spicy, hot number.  Great production and great performance.  I have commented before on how some of your numbers have a bit of a Yes feel to them (to me that is a good thing).  I am glad that at least one other person (above) notices that as well.
Brilliant!
