Did these tricks actually work?

Just finalised a mix, and i'm wondering if you guys could tell me whether or not these new things i've tried out sound good or not. Obviously I think they do but i'd like to get multiple opinions :)

I'd also be grateful for any general criticism, particularly with drums and vocals

Tricks I used that I haven't tried before were balancing with pink noise, cranking the shit out of a pcm42 to make guitars wider (a'la randy staub) and a new mastering chain.

If anyone wants more details/needs any to give me criticism and feedback, i'd be more than happy to tell :)

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Thanks to MickRich for yet another awesome and fun track to mix!
Edit 2: The volume drop is due to the demo version of airwindows' ToTape :)
