sounds good dude!
Overall a good mix, everything seems pretty well balanced, but there are a few things you could do:
On the rhythm that's panned hard right, slow the decay of the gate down a LOT, it cuts off and makes it sound choppy at the end of the hits in the buildup.
The lead guitar... idk. There's something about that tone that gets me. Its like there's either too much gain on it for it to be a lead guitar tone, or there's not enough distortion on it for it to be purely for effect, its in that weird, thin, stage and having it panned hard right with no reverb or delay on it makes it poke holes in the mix a little, sounds like it was added after everything else to me for some reason. The tone would be fine if it had some delay, reverb, and even a liiiitle bit of a phaser or chorus on there to fatten it up.
Other than that, all I can say is you may want to re-record or at least shift around the guitars at 3:45 that are doing the straight eighth-note palm mutes, they're not quite in sync (one's exactly 1/16th ahead of the other) and, since they're hard panned, it makes the track kinda wobbly there where it could be hella solid.
last but not least, the VOCALS. You did a good job EQing the sample, but its really difficult to hear the work you did because they're so quiet. If you have to, toss on a compresser at 2:1, drop the thresh a bit, and boost the crap out of the output gain, just make sure you EQ out any rumble or high end noise that might throw off the compressor or get pulled up by it, and if there IS, just toss a soft gate in before the compressor.
Anyhow. This track is fucking sick, this is definitely my favorite song on the album (listened to part 1&2 back to back like three times last night haha) and you did a SICK job transposing it all to rock instruments. This totally works, and its such a sick concept. Other than the minor mixing issues, I think this fucker is ready for mastering.
Keep it up dude, SO good to hear other people actually recording on their own on FA.

Woah real critique on FA?
Hmmmm this was a great read. Thanks a lot dude, I really appreciate the feedback!
I'm not really happy with the way I mixed the vocals either but I'm not very experienced with putting vox on tracks, so I guess this was a decent practice effort.
Thanks again bud, this shit helps!

From my time of listening to Pendulum, I've figured out a couple things,
1: Rob has an amazing voice.
2: Pendulum has great songs, old and new.
3: The band is popular among furries.
4: you shouldn't do a cover of a pendulum song. (Listen to witchcraft by bullet for my Valentine, or watercolor by deadmau5 ) but you my good sir did an amazing job. The guitar sounded good, the voice worked great. It was a bit choppy at 2 points. This was really good and I liked it, Thank you, I'll tell all my friends
