woah, ease off the reverb there buddy!

that guitar strummy thing in the intro is totally drowned out, and the stabby reece is way too loud..  Too much high end eq, hurts my ears..

I like the breaks, despite their eq issues..  During the wah wah guitar/reece parts, the guitar is too loud.  Don't force everything up the center.  That's why they invented stereo, so you had more room to give sounds their own space.  This track overall is really too busy.  Too many different elements fighting for the attention.  You have like 3 totally different tracks crammed into one here.

There are lots of good ideas here, but I think it needs a lot of work still.  Take some elements out, not everything has to play at once.  Also, the 'percussion' behind the break is way too loud.

I like the basic arrangment in as much as intro/main part/etc, but at the risk of sounding like a broken record, this track is WAY too crowded.  Crowded in arrangement, EQ, and Panning.

Mix = 2
Arrangment = 3
Total Score = 5
