Yeah, pretty much what I don't like is a few of the unnecessary vocal effects (though some are nice), and the overall drowning out of her voice amidst so many sounds. There's something to be said for minimalism and restraint. I'm also not happy about the loss of what to me sounded like a bit of natural guitar in the second verse of the leak to a synth/techno beat in this one. They also shortened the bridge a bit too much for my liking, though that may just be because this is a radio edit.
However, what I like is... well, just about everything else really. It's louder, punchier, more rock, better mixed, and has way, way more energy.
The leaked version was clearly an incomplete song.
