Nothing fancy being done here apart from the low bass which I have tried to enhance a little and no automation to speak of apart from fades at the end.

I now wish I had replaced that snare hit at the start 0:16 which is a bit naff.
I think it could do with a little EQ cut across the 250-400Hz range to clean up some of the murk. I'll leave that for the mastering stage

Replaced a couple of dodgy sounding snare hits at the start.
I couldn't get my snare sounding as 'snarey' as Spede did, but I did purloin his parallel processing to add a little blip of high frequency colour to it....hardly noticeable but gives each snare hit a little bit more excitement in the snap region without changing the basic sound of the snare itself. This effect buss channel was muted for the rolling fill about 2/3 of the way through.
I also added some automation to two of the backing vocals to bring them up in level where I felt the backing had dropped away too much without the rest of the vocals supporting them.
Oh, I also cut a little of the mud out of the track to add subliminal brightness to the overall mix.
