Thanks Leigh!

I'll try mixing it with some more lows and highs, I did eq those a bit
too enthusiastically maybe on some tracks. I'm also going to redo the
vocals, add extra guitars and automate some volume settings.
This weekend I'll crank it up on my monitors and compare it to similar
sounding tracks. And listen to it on my hifi system.

Best,

Jeremy
