I wrote/recorded this about 12 years ago, was trying to fix the mix. Not sure I improved it or not.

Generally things sound OK.
The vocal sounds OK. But it gets a little brittle in spots - like in the mid-2Ks. Words at the end of lines sometimes get lost in the mix.
Bass sounds good. Nice level too most of the time. It sounds like a low frequency jumps out every now and then. Like somewhere in the 160-180hz range.
Guitars sound pretty good.

Second thoughts...
I know I said the guitars sounded OK. But I think they're missing some high-mid detail. They're just a bit muffled. Like they're missing 5K and above.

Yea, after your comments, I wanted to go back and revisit the lower part and that 2.5K range. I was listening to it again after your comments and I can hear that "harsh" frequency which it common in my vocals.
Thanks for the feedback. I have some others I am remixing and I think the feedback will help with those as well.

I have that problem with my voice. I've had results that I like using a de-esser. I center it on 2.5K and make it about an octave wide. I usually settle on 9-12 db of gain reduction max.
This tames those abrasive jolts when they occur, but leave in a lot of vocal clarity because the de-esser isn't working all the time.
Other people use a multi-band compressor in a similar way.
Something you might want to think about.
