Nah...you're not doing that bad. Some posts just get missed from time to time. I listened but I'm on my way out, so just a couple a quick comments. I'll take another pass later.

1) Overall, the mix seems a bit harsh in the high end (maybe more of the upper mids, to be specific) and lacking in the bottom end.

2) Maybe some automation to pull some instruments back a bit when the vox come in would help. More on that later...

2) Love the double lead. And the choral vox.

3) Good performances. Definitely worth tweaking and taking to the next level.
 
The big thing that pops out to me is that you've got some pitch issues with the main vox. A few off notes, especially at the ends of lines.

I don't know if it's a soundclick compression thing, but the cymbals sound pretty bad. They've got that phasey, "taking up all off the mix" thing going on.

Guitar tone's pretty good.

The mix has an interesting variety of stuff going on and doesn't just chug through the song, so that's good.
 
The cymbals are my main concern right now as far as what I need to fix. The thing is that I only have the high hats and 1 crash cymbal that's actually a medium high hat because I lost my other cymbals when my home flooded a couple years ago. I just never got around to buying new ones yet. I can tell that the cymbals do pop out more and are louder than they should be. I'm trying to dial in an EQ that will keep them present without overdoing it, but at the same time my overhead mics have to pick up the tom drums well too. It's a give and take relationship between the two until I learn some more.
 
ha ha you need variety in the crashes. it does sound like a hat cymbal. the bass sounds a little weak. i like some of the guitar sounds. nice concept.
