All comments, critiques, and suggestions are welcome!
 
Guitars sound a bit dull/wooly, could be very nice sounding with a little work though I think. Kick is a little thin to my taste. The snare has alot of reverb and maybe sounds nicer if it was a little brighter/snappier. I like the toms, and the music is nice too. Damn, wish this was in a 'mixing time' thread. :D
