Pretty good stuff man.

I dont have a studio , neither am I a professional in the art of recording, but in my opinion I think the drums need a little more muscle.

A little more meat on the Bassdrum

Maybe a little bit of reverb on the guitars ?

I dont know..thats what my humble ears tell me... let the pros help you out ... Overall its pretty good.

Keep up to good work.

Peace
Jose

Try, if it's possible, to re-take the vocals in a room that sounds better, or deader. Right now, you've been getting flutter echoes--probably the result of a small recording space with parallel walls (like mine)--which sound crappy, especially during the louder parts of the singing. Your vocalist's also got a few pitch issues.

I'm not digging the rhythm guitar sound, to be honest. The snare's got crack--but where's the beef? I'd like it more with a bit more bottom. The tom sound needs a dramatic improvement, and needs to be louder. I actually missed them the first time around. It would be best not to pan them hard left/right if you're keeping most of the song centered, also. The mix has little sense of space.

Practice fundamental tracking/mixing techniques. Keep at it. This might help you, it sure as hell helped me: http://www.theprojectstudiohandbook.com/directory.htm

Really bad vocals on this. It's not so much the room as the sound of your voice. You need to practice being simple as humanly possible. The notes are not getting into a complimentary key at all.

The music is ok, a bit bland but teh vocals kick in with four of you clashing and overwhelming the song with....

I'll stop, I don't think your mix has any problems bigger than the vocal performance but making those backups quieter may help a lot.
