love the "closer" intro and the vocal panning. damn, that snare is wide!
love the intro sound, distorted "chingggggggggggg"
love what you did at :49, thats really original, and nice and grinding, not too dirty. i actually like how the bassline is now muffled. man, panning is your friend, isnt it? i like at 2:00 how the ONLY comes in. thats good and shows your remix maturity, you dont just blast us with the vocal lines as is, you do something original.
like the buried tr vox at 2:15 or so that continue to the end.

the only thing id like to hear is a manipulation of your (very good btw) beat, like a cutup, roll, fill, something, to break it down a bit, 808 it up here and there, something like that. seems that by about 1:40 or so, my ears are wonting for a change in tempo or something. with all the crazy panning, i wonder how it sums in mono. it really jumps out of the speakers, thats for sure. mgiht want to even lofi the drum at 2:00 and let it roll for a bit, just for a changeup. i would say by 2:55, the kick snare needs to be filtered, changed, distorted, or all of the above.

overall, great work, especially great engineering.

now my money where my mouth is:
