J - my kick was ok in my opinion, but I couldn't quite get that sound you did (which is what I was aiming for). I had some problems with around 500 - 1K (from memory). Couldn't get the balance.

you and YZ both did the same move holding the drums out. i think that makes a simple rock song like this take WAY too long to get moving.
your bass guitar is way too big. guitars are getting swallowed up in it.
that verb your using is all digital sounding. roll off the top end to get rip of that splashiness
the snare has a great "snare" tone, but lacks power. back off the bottom mic and work that top mic more. i had to boost the snot out of the top end of the top mic to get it working well.
your vocal balances are off. the BGV's come in louder then the lead. IMO, you never want that to happen. they can match the lead, but should not dominate.
the bridge arrangement is a good idea, i'd just bring the drums in earlier and ditch the arena rock kick. takes are from the forward power of the song.
your kick is decent, but the bass is just killing your mix.
you need to compress the vocals more. the chorus is just out of control.
i'd EQ (in a really odd way) all those "do ya's" to give them some vibe. right now they just sit there kinda muddy sounding and lifeless.
