The tracks have a great live feeling, nice!

Questions like this is always hard to answer because personal preferences are
so different for different people, bur I try a subjective answer here:

IMHO, you have to make a new raw mix - balance everything again before
thinking compression, reverb and EQing. Right now, it's too load guitars, to
little bass, the drums are too dynamic and so is the voice too. When yo have a
better raw mix, it will be easier to decide what to do. You will probably want
to compress the drums and the voice, and possible also flatten out the bass
and tame the guitar. But first: New raw mix.

Make the drums sound as good as possible first, then the bass, then the guitar
and then the voice - no processing except hp filters.
