The drums carry well though this mix without being overcompression, which I like. When I mixed this I felt that leaving the vocal double-track in for the verses wasn't a good idea, because double-tracking tends to dilute the emotional integrity of the lyric/performance, and that's what I feel like with your version too.
You've done quite a good job of making the chorus really 'arrive', which is great, because it's one of the trickiest challenges in this mix, I think. That said, the wide guitars of verse two slightly undermine the second chorus entry for me. Good vocal balancing in the choruses -- the right kind of level and sound to get the lyrics across, but without making the backing sound small.
Love the new mid-section sound. Very characterful, and really grabs the attention. My only quibble is that maybe it just feels a bit too 'big' sonically, which robs the following solo/chorus section of a bit of impact.

Loving the drum sound and the overall dynamics you managed to hone... sure got me rockin'!
The chorus sounds incredibly like a Foo Fighters production - and that is a VERY good thing in my books!
Cheers,
