After "nothing seems to work.. anymore" it's more together. The kickdrum - is it that important for that song? I would push it a little more back, away from the front of the soundstage. The guitars are - for my taste - a little to 'doctored', worked on. I'd get a little more dirt back into them. I like the snaresound, it gives the song more identity. How about letting it ring a bit more, to boldy state that it's an unique sound, to make it less like other snares people heard before? The wires on the underside of the snare ring a little too long for my taste - compression? I'd have them decay a bit faster so it's more percussive instead of a shortly lingering "k-chsch.."
