Great stuff, Don! The vocals are outstanding - superbly handled. The drums and guitars sound excellent to me too.
The only thing I think that could stand some improvement is the bass. On my studio system (with sub), the low end of the bass is overpowering the mix just a bit. It has the effect of making the rest of the mix sound slightly "small" by comparison. I would suggest reining in those sub-bass frequencies around the 40hz mark a bit, and maybe even side-chaining the the bass to be ducked by the kick drum, as the low end of the kick suffers slightly from the "dwarfed by comparison" syndrome...
I'm guessing this is a 5 string/low tuned bass, so sometimes even adding some saturation to goose the harmonics above the fundamental to get the bass more present in the low mids can help in keeping the bass sounding huge without actually stealing all the space in the subs.
Top stuff!
