While technically you've got a balance that makes the parts generally clearer in the new version, I find that it has lost some oomph.

I like the idea of a fuzz solo, but the first solo had more of a melodic journey to it, and I think musically served the song better.

That low organ is a nice touch though.
Hey Judders. Gotta find that balance between going by my own instincts and by the suggestion of other ears, even if a bit exaggerated. Mix-wise, I do prefer elements of the first version myself, but I do try to stay open to improvements too.

Not in the least man. You had nothing to do with the mix, and as for the lead, I really like both for different reasons--not "just saying that." I can say yours was a LOT easier to fit in. It took hardly any time at all. I'm saving both versions of the project.
