THANK YOU! - Official Release Mix: Opinions, Q&A, critics, additional information!

[wurstdrummer]

Hi guys,
the Forkupines did the recordings and mix with me. Since I'm messing with other people's mixes here, feel free to release all your anger on me
I'd like to say that I don't think that my mix is perfect. There's a lot of ways to get a good result and the band is happy, but as you all may know, one's never happy with the mix. If you have suggestions how to handle something better please tell me!
