Now that I'm familiar with the multitracks, taking a listen to a few other mixes, and thought I'd start with the "official one". Balance sounds good -- except for a few places where guitars either sound a bit to quiet or loud. Buildup of low-mids also a problem, and I second an earlier comment about getting a bit more tail (reverb, samples, something) onto the snare.
Speaking of drums, I had particular trouble with the overheads and room mics -- couldn't get the balance to sit right. Noted you brought them up selectively in parts of the mix (I ended up doing likewise).
It's a great song. Very nice lead vocal. Reminded me of Halestorm. (I particularly like the CLA mixed albums of theirs. Similar hard rock/metal band with female lead vocal.)
Hi again, Jeff.
Don't get confused - this is NOT the official mix but my private one. The official mix can be found here:

And to my mix: Good that you mention the CLA processing. I use mainly waves plugins and my alltime-compressor is the CLA-76 (though I've had the possibility to work with a "real" outboard compressor, Warm Audio WA-1176, and let me tell you that there is indeed a difference in sound).
Cheers,
Till
