Funky vocal delay -- a definite ear-catcher! I wonder whether a couple of moments could have the return automated, though, because I found it just a touch distracting from time to time. You've created a seriously heavy bass/kick combination too. I'd like to hear a bit more of the little high strum in the guitar part in the choruses, so you might want to experiment with automating that up in level. In fact, I also wonder whether the long-term dynamics might work better with a touch more guitars overall in the choruses, although in general that aspect of this mix seems pretty well handled.
It's also interesting the way you've moved away from the 'band in a room' idea more towards an electro sound, which works better than I'd have expected it to. Some nice creative thinking with the vocal edit-fest before the solo too. You've identified a definite lull in the arrangement and patched it over in a great way. I still find the vocal tuning distracting, though, in this track, and I think it'd work better if it was a bit tighter in this respect.
Hope some of that helps!
