Awesome mix! I think the volume drop of the guitars between Intro and first Verse is way too much, though. (edit: that's only for the 02 version)
The tremolo on the guitars during the calm part is a nice idea and fitting, but I agree with Olli, the L/R autopanning on the synth is too exhausting for the ears, especially on headphones.
To me it sounds like you did some extra automation of the rhodes to give it extra emphasis, which is cool, but to my ears it seems too exeggerated around 2:01 and 2:10.
Apart from that, top notch!!

Thanks mate, appreciate all the comments, including the guitar/keys comments. Yeah, there were some thoughts about the guitars (in particular), and probably should have done more with them initially. Appreciate hearing about the keys being tiring - it's just too easy to find something and stick with it rather than working at making the whole song really good. Thanks again
I think yours is much better than the usual I see here. The only thing that I would really pick on is your drum EQ curve. It doesn't seem to fit the EQ curves of the other instruments, but all the other instruments and vox fit each other well. And a bit of 5k+ volume control wouldn't hurt either. A few moments here and there where it becomes slightly too prominent, almost touching the borderline of harshness.
