Thank you, gopener, for the reply! I appreciate it, guys.
I didn't widen the stereo image because not much is going on in the mix therefore there would be a nasty hole in the middle and the mix would fall apart in some way. I tried it and didn't find it pleasant (for me it's just not what I want from the mix). The bus compression isn't very worked out because 1) it's kinda of a speed mix (if you can call an 1-1,5 hour mix a 'speed mix'); and 2) I like it that way because it brings everything together in a 'dirty', 'brutal' way (the only obvious, conventional flaw with this type of approch is 'choking' cymbals which I definitely hear). I agree, it could be more 'polished'. But the aim for me in this case was to bring the tonal and dynamic picture from the head to the mix which I tried and I'm OK with the results.
