Hi, Lethan! I've heard a lot of these mixes and yours is the one where the annoying swimmig effect of the main guitar is kept to a minimun, though it's true that you put a lot of reverb on it from the beginning (maybe too much predelay?).
Like Kapu says, it is a FULL sound you got, but with some consequences; drums sound great but that huge kick is swallowing the rhythm part and that, added to the warmness of the bass which is lacking some bite while being too deep, makes the center of the mix feel bloated. I've noticed that, when the chorus comes in, it actually feels smaller than the verses, which generally speaking, is not desirable. That's part an arrangement choice, part a proccessing thing. The bass/kick line sounds good in the choruses, so maybe all it takes is taking some dB's off the kick for the verses and then the comp wouldn't be working that much.
