Did they add a new / longer solo?
I remember that when I first heard the song, I found the chorus to be trying way too hard to be catchy and anthemic - but failing. And the solo also trying too hard to be "woah" but eventually lacking direction.
Nowadays when I listen to the song, I'm always surprised because it actually isn't that bad. The biggest problem are the vocals in the chorus - the guitar playing during the whole song is really cool, especially in the prechorus, but the chorus just sounds flat as far as the vocals are concerned. I actually like the live version from the HAND bonus DVD better than the studio take. Still, it was not first single-material.
I have no problems with the electronics during the verses, though - they've been doing stuff like that since the first record.
