Interested in seeing what you guys think could be done to improve this mix I'm working on. Thank you!
 
In what universe is Cranberries alt rock?
Light girlie vocal over heavy drums is pretty mainstream these days.
The bass is mostly just a low rumble - no definition until the quiet section.
The vocals are adequate but there's no emotion transmitted.
When she gets to the end of phrases she begins to drop volume & register and disappears a bit.
The guitars need some meat.
The hard panned toms become a bit distracting and they have more thump than the kick drum.
Sounds like it's a pretty good song in there.

I agree with some of what rayc said. First though let me say I like the tune and the lyrics. I think the bass is lost in the mix and the vocals could use a little more "oompf". I think it could use some more mixing to even out the instruments and I personally don't think the reverb placed on the vocals works for this tune (not so much with the "angst driven" nature of the tune.

All just the opinions of a music lover, but total noob at recording and mixing myself. Take it for what it's worth. Can't wait to hear the next version!
