...I don't know how, but you made slate samples sound horrible.

the guitars are VERY piercing (particulary on the lead parts. and the bass is a bit too midrangy for me. vox sounds pretty good. the drums are not too great. don't know what to say about them really... its hard to tell what you've done with them but they sound like they belong in a different mix.

this is all coming from me as a novice myself, but i see a lot of potential in this. with some tweaking (sometimes major tweaking) this could be awesome

Gotta pull down that reverb when the vocals are ending the phrases where the guitars drop out. It sounds good when the rest of the mix is playing but just hearing the naked reverb tail off doesn't sound good to me in this kind of song. You could think differently.

The drums sound extremely mono. And I don't think I can even hear cymbals.

The lead part is popping out too much, need to tuck it in a little better.
