My mixing style is a bit strange, but I did it anyway. ("Cage", Mix & Master)

Tonally its ok, low & high end are controlled and thats a good start. Drums sound heavily compressed and with a long release time. You may want to ease up on the amount and quicken the release times to get a little snap.
Guitars need some eq to open up some areas for vocal- id cut around 900 and see how it sounds from there but they all need to be eq'd a bit different.
Try to build power with the bass, and at that point see how the vox are doing . id recommend removing all plugins except eq & compressors until you like the balance. Then play around with reverbs/delays etc.

Thanks for the feedback. Have you tried a different browser?

I don't use a lot of compression, but I'm using a limiter on the drums pretty aggressively. Though, they still sound really punchy to me.. but this is why another set of ears is useful. Sorta start to not hear stuff correctly in a mix you've heard a billion times.

Same deal with the vox vs. the guitars. Thought they were separated, frequency wise. The higher pitched/octaved distortion on that particular guitar might be the issue. Side chained dynamic frequency ducking might help with that one as well.

Thanks again for listening (well, to some of it anyway.. hope you get that figured out), and commenting.
You may want to look at your monitoring situation to be certain you can trust what you hear. Not sure if your using headphones or monitors but any effort in improving your room/listening system will go a long way in improving your mixes
