Hi there!
Thank you for leaving a message on my submission thread.
I've listened to your mix a couple of times alone and also referenced it against mine and some other mixes here that I more or less liked.
Key issues:
— the guitars are too edgy and harsh—at some moments they feel like a digital distortion which is quite unpleasant.
— drums could have benefited from more definition, they get lost in busier parts of the track.
— I hear lots of build-up in low-mid range, makes the thing muddy.
— occasionally some annoying resonances pop up. probably you need to take a closer look at taming the source material.
I found your approach to vocal kind of interesting. Not sure if that is intended, but it sounds really vintage, which I enjoyed (in my case I aimed for clarity).
Still could have been a little bit more tidier & cleaned up.
I also like overall balance in the second part of the song (starting from 2:40, roughly). The guitars are more controlled there.
Have a good day!
