It sounds like you featured the kick. I like the feel it brings. But the mix is a little dark to me. I wish the guitars/synths are brighter (think HP) to balance the dark tone from the kick, imo. I can hear the snare but miss the snap. There are some level/frequency issues in both synth and guitars in some parts, the first drop, for example. (1:07-1:26), @2:06 the word "sure" dropped down drastically. I remember hearing something like that way back and suspected it came like that on the way in originally when they recorded the vocal, mostly b/c of the compressor. I went to edit and brought the level up in mine. Maybe you want to check it out to make sure. Hope it helps.
