Hey Ringo!
I love the movement you have over the different sections. I like how you brought up the second half of the choruses, but maybe they could be done a tiny bit less. If you were mixing into a mixbuss compressor, I would take a look at a couple of the hits in some of those louder bits of the chorus. If you automated the sections up by hand, maybe a slightly more subtle bump could be used, but it definitely adds energy and movement the way that it is now.
I felt like the guitar solo section was a bit tucked back, with the di track way out front, but, as your were going to a punkish crude feel, it definitely fits the bill in a way that I can't argue against. If you were going for a polished solo section, then I may take a look at your levels there, but I do love the "devil may care" attitude it brings.
I did have a slightly odd feeling about the snare during the verse sections. It seems like it was separate from the other instruments in a way. Maybe automate the room mics down a touch during the verse, or if the snare is pumped into a small room reverb, maybe dial that back just a little bit? It just kind of caught my attention, like the kick and cymbals are in one room, and the snare is in another room.
Overall it has a definite mood and vibe that was good to listen to!
Nice work!
