The overall tone of your mix is nasal and due to the lack of reverb, lacks a certain size, it sounds like every instrument was recorded in an anechoic chamber. In one way you've gained tightness and attack but you've lost the overall weight of the band making it fatiguing to listen to.
The beater sound of the kick is in the same frequency range of the vocalist and the guitars, this is the main area of the nasalness of your mix, try scooping out some 800-3000 Hz from the kick and guitars and boost 6-10 kHz on the kick if you need the attack. The guitars sound good overall so nothing really there, the vocals have a honkey sound around 900 Hz that needs to be fixed. The other problem with the kick is that it seems to have no low mid content at all, all the connective tissue is gone so it leaves only click and thump, a scoop at 400-500 Hz shoud be enough to take the wooliness out while still having some connective tissue left.
Cheers, and hope this helps

Mixing is way more art and soul than science. We don’t really know what we’re doing. We do it because we love music! It’s the love of music first. Eddie Kramer
