Interesting panning in the intro. I like it.
Solid balance overall every instrument is audible.
The would like the vocals highpassed at a higher frequency just to clean it up a bit more.
I like the thickness of the snare it blends well with the mix energy. A bit more top end would have made it perfect for me. I think the use of the room mic on the drums is pretty well done.
Lastly the guitars sound a bit loose so I would squash them more with some compression just to make them a bit tighter.
Really nice mix
For me, I think the guitars needs a bit more cleaning, ( they sound a bit nasal ) although I know they were recorded this way
I would also check some phase alignment for the drums, but this is just me nitpicking
Overall a solid mix
Cheers

Thank you both Shul and Pilip for your points.
Much other guys around here don't want/like to write to others.
I'll be back with another file trying to correct those issues.
Much appreciated it.
Cheers!
I think you did a particularly good job with the guitars, managing to get them strident without being harsh. Drums are beefy without being overpowering, and the bass sits nicely in the mix.
The only thing that threw me was the reverb on the guitar panned up the centre - it's really washy and it feels like it is kind of confusing the song. It's carrying over chord changes and taking away from the momentum of the groove.
The vocals also felt a little distant, but that's very minor and is more of a taste thing than any sort of problem.

Thanks man for check it out. I'll try to avoid adding more reverb on things, i added more reverb in that gtr 'cos i felt that it was messing with the vocals in a stange way, and i put it a bit off the center. it seems it was a wrong choice.
cheers!
