Thanks guys! I needed the kick with some feedback.
My mix philosophy is "use what's there" (frequencies captured in the recording itself) and then give them what they "want". So I truly agree with more thickness, I'll assume you meant more 400-600Hz. With an exemption of a few filters, I did not eq anything except the drums and vox. Those mics are great and seemed to capture the "aire" very well so I let that speak more than usual in the mix.
The reverb... I agree. When I decided to put this mix in the genre "Modern Southern Rock", I went and listened to bands like the Black keys, Modest Mouse, Kings of Leon ect. There was so many different ways reverb was used on the vocals, I might of got carried away being creative.
So many people I play stuff for say, "that's cool..." but I really don't learn anything that way!
