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,
