Just wondering if anyone add any advice on how to make this mix better. Also, if there are any aspects you really like, let me know.

I recorded the band live in a small room, so there was a ton of bleed. Then I overdubbed all the E Gtr parts myself.

Thanks for listening.

I thought the vocals were very well performed. I think the reverb on them is wrong for the mix. It kind of washes everything together and hurts clarity. I would opt for a very small reverb - like a small room or ambience reverb. And I wouldn't use very much of it. I would put a room reverb on everything else.

The drum part is a little busy for the tune. It takes attention away from the vocal. I would turn down the rhythm tracks and/or roll off a little high end.
 
Thanks for listening and the tips. I made some changes and I think it's definitely better and more clear. Unfortunately can't lower the percussion because it's all over the live tracks. I'm pretty new to recording and mixing, so I've learned a bunch from this session. Mostly that while some bleed is ok, too much can ruin everything.
