Good luck with your mix. Obviously, the multitracks are not great/ideal, but the best mixers (imo) are the ones who can take mediocre-sounding multitracks and make something passable out of it.

That's how you gotta do it - good attitude!
When you're mixing something like this, you have to a) mix for the band and meet their expectations and b) stay within the boundaries of the genre (because fans of the genre also expect a particular guitar/drum/vocal sound), and I guess people here on this forum don't always get that. That's why you usually mix with reference songs and do a lot of a/b'ing unless you are a big fish in the water, and people come to you because you have a "signature" sound that they want.
