It's hard for me to critique this mix because it's not really my style.

However, the vocals are really nice and clear. (A little creepy at times because I can't understand them.)

But, one thing that stuck out is when the distorted guitars came in, I felt like they should have been bigger.

Sounds good, you could use another kick, because this is too recognisable. Guitars are sloppy but that's not your fault.
You did your best

i always have to work a fucking lot to get a decent sound out of this guitarrist
i know its not the equipment :
washburn with emgs
dean razorback explotion

i guess its true what they say..."the tone is in the fingers"
