Days Long Gone

I'm working on mixing a 5 song EP and would appreciate any feedback on one of the first songs I've mixed.  Thanks!

    Lead seems a tad loud.
     
    Drums sound too compressed.
     
    Bass needs more definition.
     
    JMO.
     
    IOW, sounds like it was mixed by a guitarist.

    Thanks for the feedback bapu.  That "mixed by a guitarist" sound is what I'm trying to get away from, but it's not easy :)

    Nice chops throughout.
     
    Is your bass guitar panned a little to the left? If so I'd stick it dead center.
     
    Are your guitars (lead and chordal) all in the center? If so, I'd pan them each to a different side, but not hard panned, like 30-40% or so.
     
    Maybe compress or limit the bass to define it some?
     
    Be nice to see what you do with it!
     
    cheers,
    -Tom
