How is this mix?

I really like the song, like the guitar and the mix sounds alright to my untrained ears. Really like the vocal bit at 1:29, but the vocals sound a little bit off pitch to me in places maybe, the few seconds after 2:20 being an example of where it doesn't sound quite right to me...it might just be timing. Anyway, see if anyone else agrees with that, I could well be wrong. :)
 
I'm on cheap speakers but it sounds pretty good to me. The only thing I noticed was that the tomtoms sound rumbly/boomy,(starting around 1:30min) but like I said I'm on cheap speakers now. Overall the recording sounds nice and clear.
 
I like the clarity of the mix and the separation. Guitars sound great. the timing between the drums and guitars is distracting though. they are not 'locked' into time, or with each other. the drums seem to lag a bit. The vocals are a bit flat here and there, especially in the second half of the phrases. Mix overall is nice though.
 
The separation of all the instruments sounds to be very well done, and the song is very catchy. chrisjorge is right about the timing though. The drums and guitar towards the beginning are not synced up and it becomes distracting. It doesn't seem to become an issue as the song gets rolling except around the 2:52 part of the song (chorus?). Great drum work, but there are occasions when the snare hits just a bit early or late, and there are parts there where the toms seem to hit a bit early as well. Not as distracting as the part at the beginning.

Also, there is just soommmmmmmeeeeething about the intro guitar that I find not right. I can't quite put my finger on it. It sounds distant....not clean enough...messy... I'm not quite sure and I'm sorry if it sounds vague. Perhaps it's just me, but maybe others will point it out as well.

All in all an awesome song! Keep it up.
 
Have you intonated your guitars? I think they sound a little out of tune.
Don't think it's a big deal in this song though.
