Hi thedon
Sorry it has taken me a while to get back to your post. I really like your mix - it's actually one of my favourites, due mainly to the fact you nailed the atmosphere.
The lead vocals sound great and so do the drums. I may be getting a tad too much sub bass but my monitoring is not the best to definitively tell you.
The technical improvements I could suggest are (a) reducing the transient attack on the ride cymbal. It was poking out a bit for me while listening. (b) I love hearing the male BV parts prominent, but I am hearing low mid masking on it (little known secret is that is MikeS lending his vocal chords). I'd be tempted to pull out a little more 1-2k on bass guitar, but that may be taste.
A couple of other taste comments - being the guitar player, the added distortion (I think) to the solo didn't really work for me. Some high end harshness to it. Maybe a touch quiet too, but I'm biased there
Tom 1 at the outro seemed quite forward - a little bit more reverb treatment on that Tom would help I think
Thanks again thedon for mixing our track - really nice work and I really like it.
