Quick hour and a half static mix (I have a D&D game to get to, cause I'm cool like that). Just playing around with getting an 80's feel about the mix. Kick may be a bit big for the vision, though, now that I am listening to my bounce (it's amazing how some things become obvious after bouncing down). Did I achieve the feel I was going for do you think? Yea? Nay?
The guitars are a little dark, but that comes from my vision of the mix, a darker overall feel. I think it's a matter of taste (or mix vision in this case). I totally hear what you're talking about, but with the context of the song, it was completely a choice.
Good sound. I think that you have achieved that 80s-ish vibe, but snare lacks that nice reverb they used back then. A 4dB boost in high end with a shelf can help your mix.
