Mark, I cannot hear anything wrong with the vocals. I think you captured the feel of the song perfectly.
Steve, yes, my way of mixing drums has changed a bit, and so has my attitude apparently. It depends on the song though. I still don't like too dominant drums and (especially) bass in general, but my taste keeps expanding. I sometimes realize that I like music now that I wouldn't listen to a couple of years ago.
Regards,
Steffen
