It's a good tune, and generally quite well performed and sung. I personally didn't care so much for the really high vocals, as they just sounded a bit too strained to me, but that may be a matter of taste.
It's hard for me to comment in detail on the mix, as I was listening on my pc speakers. With that as a caveat, it did seem a bit mid-heavy.

I would pan the acoustic and electric guitars. They seem to be stumbling over each other.
The bass guitar could use a little more definition. Try a 2-3db boost around 2.5K for a little crispness/clack.
Other than above, very nice mix. Good song.

I would pan the acoustic and electric guitars. They seem to be stumbling over each other. Great singing and convincing performances all around, but I agree with Bapu here, some more panning on the instrumentation would help, the acoustic is a little too 'bloomy' and it's getting in the way, needs a bit more tweaking on the eq. I don't know if it's a reverbnation thing but the overall stereo image feels is quite narrow, you have to pay attention to really notice the difference if you flip it in to mono. I think you could take it a fair bit wider and it would allow more room for those giant vocals! Have fun! Child

Maybe spread stuff out a bit. Mix sounds mono. Vocals feel a tad over the top in areas. Definitely some talent going in this though.

As usual I loved the Song as well as the others!!! Nice, Cant comment on the mix, on my cheap headphones. I did notice the ending faded out kinda funny though, not sure. Well done

I would echo most of the comments here about stereo width.
That being said, overall, this is a pretty good song, with some moments that really shine.
Question, what do you use for mastering? Ozone can help add a bit of stereo width.

Nice job on the performance for sure.. great vocals. I agree with the comments about mix width. If you multi tracked the drums, make sure your overheads are hard panned. I would double track the acoustic and hard pan it left and right to carve out some space. You might spread out your vocal tracks also.. 10% left and 10% right..etc. good job! BD

you have had some great mix advice above. just to say, this is a very good vocal performance, and a great song, which deserves a top mix! there is something nicely retro about the tune, certainly in the UK we don't really hear this kinda rock song anymore.
