OK. First off you'd ought to fix the drum triggering issue. It doesn't sound very convincing when snares get triggered from kick leakage.
Then there's out of phaseness in the guitars: two mics of a guitar panned to both sides are out of phase with each other, resulting this super-wide (in an 80s way) sound and complete disappearance when listened in mono.
Finally either the vocal or the full mix compression is little off. The chorus sounds smaller than the verses. If the issue exists in the lead vocal compressing, use slower attacks and faster releases, if it's the mix bus compression being "wrong", simply use less.
Only after these issues are solved we can start to see where this mix can be taken.
