Hey, ya wanker! :)

Cool "band"; the guy plays with himself expertly. :) ... On my rig, the whole thing is edgy and sibilant... the whole 6k-11K space is pushed very hard. I'm not a fan of the reverb choice, especially on the primary guitar and snare... too much pre-emhphasis; that always seems to take away "punch" to me... It might be a style choice, so feel free to tell me to sod off... :) I do like the space and definition on the kick drum, and I like the control you have over what was probably a difficult lead vocal to record... As other have said, I think this is a little "old school"ish, and might be better serverd with a less compressed, drier, more upfront presentation.

This tune would be a good candidate for guest remixes if you have the dry tracks...
 
Just from a first listen:
  • Hi-hat needs to be turned down
  • Less high end on the vocals
  • More snare, but you may have to take some of the top end off it if you're turning it up.
  • I'd focus mainly on the drum and vocal sounds, really. The rest seems alright.
  • I think the reverb is over-done, but that's just a taste issue.
