The drums sound pretty good. When the vocals come in, my first impression is that they're pretty far back in the mix. I'd bring up the vocals a bit.
Guitars sound great, but I'm no guitar expert.
Lots of reverb, too... It fits the song, and gives it a smooth texture, but if you want it to hit harder, take back a bit of the reverb.
Great musicianship! Nothing stands out, except for a few slight timing issues in the complex rhythms the drummer is pounding out - but that's only barely noticeable, and I'm pretty sensitive to that.
Definitely on the upper-hand of mixes I've heard come out of this forum, for sure.
The bass could probably be brought up a bit, too... It hides under the mix pretty well.
Good stuff! Keep at it!

This sounds real good, man. 
Great drum sound and nice guitars blending in great with the bass. Good voice too, could be a bit more aggressive. Nice listen, more please...

sounds pretty cool. I also think the vocals could come up a bit, and I would probably have made them a little less distant, but maybe bringing the volume up would solve that. I think the drums could be slightly snappier too.
hmm. I'm really liking this one.

the vocals killed it for me. Not that they are bad, I just don't like nu-rock vocals.

Same feelings about the vocal, but overall I love the mix. Drums are just a bit overcompressed to me, but it fits. In the second verse the singer gets a lot better. Kind of sounds like Scott Weiland, well (maybe on a bad day). Great solo. Great job!

Thanks a lot for listening and the great comments guys!
Regarding the vocal level, I guess I've been listening a lot to Soundgarden Superunknown and Down on the Upside lately...Chris Cornell's vocals, in their heavier songs anyways, are usually pretty 'small' sounding in the mix... I dunno I guess it's a judgement thing, a lot of people think the vocals on 10,000 days are too low as well but I like that kind of level...

What do you guys think of the overheads i.e. cymbals level and sound on this one? I always struggle a bit between too bright/too dark...the brighter sounds more exciting but can be fatiguing over a whole album.

I think I'm gonna try to make the bass sound more aggressive when it's on it's own in the beginning, then tuck it back in when the guitars come in...
Anybody catch the bass wah at various points of the song???
