Here's my totally non-professional opinion:

The Bup Bup Song buries the vocal

A Little Bit of Loving is better until 1:50, and again buries the vocal until the final verse comes in.

Slightly Out of Phase starts fine, but as you add instruments, the vocal gets more and more buried.

Hey Hey is great.

I Think I Found Love also has a nice mix.

This is Her Weekend has spots where the vocal gets buried.

Thunderbord Hotel (typo?) is loud, but perhaps a bit overly compressed, depending on the sound you're going for.

Note a theme here? wink

I don't think the mix is dull. In fact, there are a number of instruments I'd make a bit less bright, using my totally-non-professional opinion.

What are you hearing in the Jimmy Buffet mix you're not hearing in your own?

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
