Well, no disrespect but I think overall your levels are good. but the Guitar tone is really thin and bright. I think if you fatten up the guitar tones that would help. The drums also sound very thin bright and tinty. The snare has a lot of reverb that might sound a little less washy if you pull the snare verb down a bit. Bass is nice and heavy and powerful but if you go back and mess with the guitar tones and the drum tones you might have to re mix the bass to compensate. Keep working at it!

sounds fine to my ears, except imo the china(?) in the breakdown section could do with some major attention, and the slide noise at 3:28 could maybe be cut out to make the re-entrance more dynamic, but it's all just my opinion dude

The guitar tone needs a makeover. Overall it's pretty awkward to listen to. None of the individual instruments are blending seamlessly together. Something that helped me to create well balanced mixes was to study each and every instrument (guitars, kick drum, toms, bass, etc) and where they lie in a good mix. For instance, a bass guitar sits predominantly in the 120hz range while the kick will generally be anywhere from 60hz-100hz. So being aware of that line is key to getting the low end of both instruments to cut through a mix without clogging things up and making ten sound muddy.
