Hello man.. Here are my observations.

*intro solo is almost inexistent that needs to come up.
*bass is very clogged up in the low end. You need to clear this up.
*kick is also too punchy. My guess is you are probably using headphones that have very little bass response or your speakers lack bass in them. I would use a reference mix to compare the low end with your mix.
* solos in the solo part are way too low.. Turn them up.
*if you can use automation in a EQ on the fast double kick to prevent muddiness in the low end.

Overall balance is not so bad. Once you clear that up I can give you more pointers. Keep it up! It's a good start!

No solos, no fun Smile It almost sounds if the solo tracks were muted and we only hear the aux reverb :-P

Don't know what happened to your second mix but guitars are mono and drums sound very tiny. Something is going on there but I don't know what.
