The whole thing is really clear and polished. Great performances by everyone. But I hear a few mix issues, and they're slight.
The snare doesn't have enough weight in my opinion. And the vocals are a bit loud as compared to everything else. Also, the whole mix sounds a little hot, possibly due to over-limiting on the master. But none of those things by any stretch are a deal breaker. Keep it up dude!

I agree with all your comments regarding the mix issues, especially the bits about the snare and vocals. We voiced out our concern to the engineer and he said that he wanted to showcase the vocals in the mix :P Hopefully, we get to look into the recording and tweak those things later on, though.

Thanks so much for the feedback, quickxkid! :)
