Dope! I like this very much, nice work.

A few things:
The kick is a good sound but a bit too loud (in my opinion... I'm listening to it on my monitors though).
You might want to do your own little master too, looking at the waveform of the track you have some massive peaks that you'll want to get rid of, I'm not saying to squash the dynamics out of it but some compression or limiting would probably do it good (after you've got the kick turned down).

Overall though very nice work, I've actually listened to the whole thing twice which doesn't happen too often! Haha

Just out of curiosity, what are your levels like in your mix, where's stuff peaking?

i would say the kick is a tad bit too loud, but what it really needs, is to be eq'd differently in my opinion - I would lower the amount of attack you have on that kick - maybe take it down at 6-8k


sounds great though!

Just so ya know attack is actually an envelope parameter, I've never seen an EQ with an attack setting.
6-8k is way above where the kick is causing problems, closer to 100 Hz is where a kick gets its power from.
Do your homework before giving advice! haha

Nice track, but the guitar tone is absolutely horrid. I guess that is personal opinion, maybe you like that electric kind of sound, but I think it would be much nicer if it sounded more natural. Either way, I liked it.
