Well, for what's it worth, I think it sounds pretty good, except for a couple things -

Fatten the Rythem guitars a bit and bring them up a few db's

The vocals need something as well, they sound kinda dry and out-in-front to me.

I stink, so don't take what I say too seriously, but I think those couple a tweaks would make it sound pretty dang good.....

Not too bad...
Take a look at the snare eq and reverb (lack of)
Like NL5 said, the vocal sounds out of place. Am I hearing a bad room or a small room reverb patch? I think this may work better with a larger room sound with some predelay, but less in the mix.
The guitars seems to be working pretty well. There are a few out of time issues - not sure if you can improve that or not.
Keep at it.

Ditto on the vox. They are sounding too dry and as a result aren't really "sitting in the mix" that well. I thought I heard some flat notes in there as well.

The drums likewise are flat. Not enough a snap, which is what a song like this needs. Try some verb.

You may want to EQ the kick drum a bit. It sounds thin, almopst non existant.

Good tune though. The gits sound good and I like the interplay on the intro. Good rock stuff.

These are my opinions only and you know what opinions are like.(hint: everybody's got one).

Keep on rockin'.
