Overall it works and sounds pretty good. I think the Overhead could come up. Or maybe just have a bit more brightness but that might be tough when he bashes in the choruses. Maybe a hair less bass gtr or a dip in the 100-120hz range to open it up a bit. I'm not a fan of the added distortion on the guitars it feels a little inorganic and distracting. Overall the mix level could come down to give yourself more headroom and less clipping. That all said it works.
It doesn't have to sound good. People just need to think it sounds good.

Many thanks for your review! I agree on all of what you've mentioned. I have to admit, that I love saturation/distortion on guitar tracks and might have overdone it this time Smile. Here is a revision of my mix.
