Hmmm...
What I like: Natural sound; love the organic snare (a-la Flood on U2's Actung Baby album); good bass blend/level an in good blend with the bass overall.
What I do not like: Guitars are weak--it is strange, but while everything fits, sometimes much more than that is needed. The band clearly wanted the guitars to be incredibly powerful. Yours are audible, clear and in their own space, but have no impact really.
In a nutshell, from a technical standpoint, I can find nothing about your mix which yanks me out of the song, and nothing particularly poor in the execution. However, I can also find nothing which makes the song sing to me and creates the impact I believe the genre and the band would desire, based on the arrangement, particularly around the guitars.
Hope that helps. You did a clean mix. Try doing one that is balls-out and see what you come up with!
