I agree with Mike's assessment overall, mostly with the "woolly" factor. Sounds really good on my studio monitors, but it would kill my car stereo without a doubt.
I disagree on the acoustics however. As he stated, they were poorly recorded (like everything else in this multitrack), so I kind of like the fact that you didn't go out of your way to "fix" them too much. They sit back just enough to my ears.
I'd say, given the material in question, that you did a pretty stand-up job. I haven't heard a mix on here yet (including my own, Mike's, or anyone else's) which I feel really pulls it off 100% That's because I don't believe there is a 100% on this one. I'm sure you realize that you can never take a crappy recording and turn it into gold; it is just a matter of how good a job you can do with what you've got to work with. In that regard, I think this is a stand-up job!
