after a quick listen, the only thing that strikes me is that the snare is a little too in-your-face.

you could add a little room verb to it. I like to do that and crush the drum buss a bit--depends on the song/mix.

Still sounds good though thumbsup

I really like the mix. I especially love the way you kept the electronics sitting in the mix. A couple things that stood out to me...

The snare could use some dynamics, especially when it comes to the rolls. I do a lot of electronic music myself and if you want to get the electronic vibe throw a more electronic snare under those parts. It seems like you're going for the real drummer vibe so... thats suggestion #1.

The only other things was the guitars could have a little more definition. I know during the open parts their not really a focal point, but if you made them bite a little more during the verses and accented parts it'd sound cool.

Just my 2cents (probably worth less than that) but great job so far!

Thanks for the feedback guys! We don't really have a set deadline for this, so I'm really trying to hone everything in... I don't want to overthink it and tweak it to death, as I think that can lead to things getting worse rather than better, but we got in a time crunch with our first album, and there are lots of little things that bug me about it.
