Sounds awesome man! I love that clean intro and those drums are pretty sweet!

My only complaint is that the guitar sounds too treble-y. I'm not sure if it's the EQ or the actual guitar tone, but it's definitely missing some low end.

Also, this might just be my headphones or something, but the snare sounds kinda muffled.

Yeah, the tone wasn't my best, mainly because I'm trying to figure out how to adjust the frequencies on different instruments to sit better in the mix, and the low end of the guitar kind of overlapped the rest of the mix, so I turned it down some. However, On my monitors, speakers and headphones, the tone still sounds like it's pretty beefy. Maybe it's just a difference in the speakers we're hearing it on.

As for the snare, that may just be your headphones, too. I can hear it pretty clearly.

But thanks man! I'm really glad you enjoyed it! I'll definitely take your suggestions into account on my next song.

I would suggest mixing with good speakers and then listen to it and mix it some more on bad headphones or laptop speakers or something. That way you'll be able to fix a few things here and there and have the song sound decent on everything.

I already do that though lol. I mix with my studio monitors first then I mix on headphones and smaller speakers and stuff like that. I wonder where the disconnect is? Cause I tested it on a ton of speakers (studio monitors, computer speakers, car speakers, headphones, stereo speakers), and it sounded pretty good on all of them. The guitar tone hasn't been perfected just yet, but like I said, I'm still workin' on it :D
