interesting drum compression. I like the punchyness you got in them. They need a bit more room in them though so they can sound a bit more natural.
main Lead guitar is very distracting at that volume. It almost sounds at the level of the main vocals.
There is a weird artifact in the drums. I think you gated a track and I can hear it acting up on the left side. ex: @1:24 .
The vocal eq work you got is very good in my opinion.
solo is super squashed in the compressor. You can hear its transients and then the volume drops heavily.

overall I think you need to use less compression. You should bypass every compressor, listen to the track, and whatever is poking out, that's what you should start compressing.. sometimes putting many compressor for no reason leads to a tiny mix.

keep it up.

Thanks Shu, for listening, Message and tips.
I did hear the artifact but was a little lazy to fix it. 
Funny to hear about the compression, but I used very little compression overall, with exeption on the vocals. Like Bruce Swedien said "compression is for kids" Big Grin 
Room mic, i left low because the Crash was to loud to me and iam "lazy", and i liked the rhythm feel of the main guitar better than the drums, and i think the whole song was written around the main guitar what made me make it more present, and it doesnt feel wrong to me to leave it louder and distract a little bit.  The guitar solo sound didnt like that much and used a free inpulse responds plug amp on the DI as experimentation. "Maybe it sounds squashed because of using compression sparely on other sounds"

But your message let me go back to see, and do some adjustments, Thanks Shu, Keep it up.
