I feel like your mix is hitting your compressor too hard, try pulling all your faders down the same amount to where your compressor is taking of just about 1-2 dB. Also, play around with the attack and release. I think you can get a clearer usage of the compressor if you tune it to the groove. I think your kick is too hot, especially in the beginning. The snare could definitely come up too, i do think.
Also it sounds a little low mid heavy in general.
The lead vox could come up during the bridge, too.
I know that sounds like I'm bashing your mix, but I'm not really. It just sounds like your ear got a little fatigued and so you had to compensate for things not sounding as loud to your ears.
I bet if you pull your compression back a bit, your mix will open up a lot and the images will pop out a lot more.
I do like your general levels, and your usage of delay and verb.
Cheers!
