Need Mixing Advice On New Song Recorded

We just recently recorded words minus time. Now I know the vocals sound like they are low in the mix, but that's how we sorta wanted them. I'm looking for more nitpicking at the mix of the instruments and how they all sound together.

I didn't listen through my monitors, only my headphones, which isn't enough by any means but it'll have to do. Also, listening to a low-resolution MP3 is far from ideal.

I don't really see the point of having a lead vocal buried in the mix like this. Heck, the bass is louder than the lead... makes me uneasy when I listen to it. I think the cymbals are a bit too loud, bring down the overheads 2-3 dB and see what that does. You could also bring down the snare a wee little bit, but that's not crucial.

I especially like how the rhythm guitars and keyboards blend, it's sounds really... cozy. It sounds okay overall, really. There are only two things with it that annoy me; the low vocals and the horrible lead guitar sound. That, and it's sloppily performed at times. Practice your timing! (you as in "all of you")
