Things I liked:
The intro was tight, interesting, and not drawn out for filler. Russ Freeman would approve, I'm sure.
The rythm guitar crunch is excellent, complimenting the leads.
The overall timing/tempo felt right.
I enjoyed the drum track. Perhaps noticing percussion things more while focussing on hearing the slap-bass?
The cymbals are well done. I know nothing about compression, so I assume your work helps glue the band together at the right levels.
Mixing with/over the slap bass was effective, nothing sounded like add-ons. The bass presence throughout is apparent, and the player's skillz are easy to appreciate.
I think the swirly vocal at 1:00-1:15 minute mark didn't quite fit the overall eq and punchyness, but using 'choppy' vocals as rhythmic counterpoint to the horns might work, and the horns were very Rippingtons-like.
The Repro and lead guitar sounds are fine, and well played.
Here's a Rick Beato interview with a bassist who also can slap, I wonder if the two bassists have conversed/met etc ?
