I think perhaps the vocals should be more forward in the mix. Feels like they're hiding behind the rest of the band. Maybe back the snare and the EG off. That might take care of the vocal positioning. Also ~3:30, that lower vocal part sounds like it needs to come back about 2-3dB. Stands out from the others a tad much.
I haven't started the full mix quite yet so haven't looked in detail at the instrument parts. (I'm fussing over the vocals and trying to get the all marching in step right now. I'll probably be ready to hit the rest of the tracks in a day or two.) I might be able to see more of what Metallurgist is refering to after some closer listening. I can already tell though that I'm going to have similar problems getting the vocals to settle without being either smeared all over the place or burried by the cymbals and that EG chording.
