Hi!
I think people can worry too much about bleed. Sometimes you can gate it out, other times I find you can get a half decent balance without worrying about it and go from there.
The snare and possibly the bass might be dominating just a little too much at times for me. Some of the distortion on the bass can sound a little monotone I think, even though the frequency of the bass is changing. The mix is sounding just a touch midrangey overall too, perhaps? Not sure if it needs a little more top end or something, say above 2.5 or so perhaps to open it up a little bit? More noticeable on headphones I think.
The mix approach works for me though, aside from that!
Cheers!

Just uploaded a mix/master? Waiting for comments? Why not give back and critique a mix/master, or two!
