Hi Aaron L,
the recordings of all this songs aren't too good, which leads to very hard work during mixing. There are a lot of phase issues and the tones from the drums aren't particular usefull aswell.
So, you did quite a good job here. The guitars are really phasy, but I've got the feeling that you did this at least partly on purpose. The snare could indead need more beef, but that is one of the very hard things here.
One thing you should keep an eye on are the sibilinaces in the vocals, they seem a bit strange and overbearing from time to time. A deesser may be of some use here, but also reducing the gain of the particular parts of the signal. If you zoom in, they are usually pretty tight waveforms.
If you want to, put a lot of work into this to work against the recording, or just take a look and see if you can at least recognise the things we mention here and move on to the next song. There are a lot that are easier to mix if you are just starting out.
Cheers
