Vocals too quiet in these mixes?

[Jordon]

I'm mixing this band, and they have some concern that the vocals are too quiet. I think they're fine, but I want an outside opinion to remove any bias:

they sound like they are even with everything else but some people like vocals a little louder than the music. if the band wants it i say give them what they want...

I'll bet if you hi pass them a little more and maybe add a hi shelf they'll be fine. I think the band is hearing the vox mud up with the rest of the mix and perceiving it as too quiet simply cuz they don't shine or stand out.

The guitars are covering up the vocals. Try low-passing them around 8-9kHz.
