The new vocal melody in the chorus is worse than the original IMO. The lead up to the solo was by far the best part, but everything sounds like it's soaked in reverb. Also, some of these transitions are quite harsh. I dig the backing vocals in the last chorus. Not a fan of the intro noodling; it's less catchy than before.

Vocals aren't bad but sound rather strained in places. For example, the "WIIIIIISH" in the chorus is especially guilty of this.

Also, one criticism I have of the song is that it's lacking dynamics. The difference in intensity between the verses and the chorus is not especially pronounced; the verses sound super busy (did you raise the tempo?), and the chorus is very shouty. There's little room to breathe. Could have used the quiet intro-build up after the solo before you go into the chorus, for example. Instead, it's just BAM BAM BAM.
