Sounds ok, but the bass and drums need to be a lot louder, sounds pretty thin, and the guitars and voice stand out too much, rather than everything blending properly. And a slight reverb on the drums wouldn't hurt (but too much would ), though not 100% necessary.

I agree that the bass isn't doing much in the mix. It needs work. The kick drum should come up a little and the vocals need to come down a bit.The vocals oerpower the mix.

Other than that the only other critiques are some of the playing and singing errors. But you didn't ask about that.

yeah raise the kick drum if you can and the guitar just a little. bass needs to come up and maybe lower vocals just a notch....barely anything, if at all. put a little verb on the drums or at least the snare if you can. needs to sound a little more full.

[FinnJ]

so what do you see in the guitar playing that sticks out?

[Jumbler]

sounds good.... I can't wait till i can figure out how to do that. heh.
