The kick is really fat and just hits nice and hard, the snare sounds like it has a touch too much bottom mic but it's nothing major (mostly a taste thing). The Guitars are also pretty great sounding, the arpeggiated guitar in the bridge is loud and has a tendency to draw some focus away from the lead vocals but overall the guitars are beefy without really causing any big problems in the mix. The bass in our mixes are actually pretty similar, I think mine is abit lower but tonally they have a similar signature. I noticed the reverb at 1:26 on the toms and snare sound a little artificial, try using a small plate or room reverb with slightly more early reflections than reverb tail so that the reverb basically adds weight and some width to the snare and toms. The vocal balance is also quite good, maybe a touch less backing vocal in the choruses but otherwise they sound good.
Keep it up,

Thanks Dcp for the in depth analysts. I know this mix needs more but wasn't sure on where to take it from here without it being a backwards move. I know I struggled with reverb with this one especially with the drums and the snare, so I will explore your suggestions in this area. Thanks again for your time. You have given me some direction to continue with.
Dave.
