One could argue that it is mastering...and so in the context of a pure mix...unnecessary
Actually, I deliberately created a contrast between that quiet opening and the rest of the song; what I'm hoping people do is that they turn it up during that quiet part and leave the volume there and let the song's peaks and valleys of volume take them for a rollercoaster ride.
Which is the reason I'm such a big proponent of dynamic range: there's nothing quite like loud and quiet passages to drive the ebb and flow of a song.
