Man, I would totally double up that vocal and make it huge during that chorus!

@dkyx I knew I wasn't crazy. Unless we're both crazy...0_o

@Musicmonk84 Very distracting. This is because the part prior to it is just too damn centered. It's too noticeable (and not a good way imo), so when the widening happens in the chorus its far too obvious.

There should be more stereo activity in the pre-chorus to make the song (and the chorus widening) more coherent.

good stuff, thanks again.

I dunno, seemed a little too obvious to me. Almost distracting? I don't know.
