It sounds like you've been pushing your compressors quite hard, especially that on the lead vocal. While this suits some styles, I wonder whether you're trying to turn this song into something it isn't. My inclination would be to compress more transparently on the lead, and then make up any further balancing with fader automation. However, that said, it does make more sense of the guitar solo when it arrives, which is a problem that more natural mixes have to work harder at.

One side-effect of the vocal compression is that the breath noise feel a bit over-played, and some of the consonants spit a little too aggressively for me. As with many of the other mixes, the guitars feel a bit thin to me as well, and I do crave a bit more midrange sustain from them. Maybe mix in a low-pass filtered parallel compressor on those parts? Only and idea. As it is, it just sounds a bit like you've accidentally left some electric guitars muted! Smile
