I don't know that I can even remotely agree with Dave's loudness issues on this. I can't stand overcompressed mixes/masters, and jump all over them when it is annoying, and I don't see anything bothersome about it in your mix Till.
Sure, it is loud, but loudness isn't in and of itself a negative. Squashed dynamics can be an ugly thing, but this song doesn't actually have a huge dynamic range anyway.
I agree that going for loud gusto isn't smart, but in the case of your mix/master here, I do not hear anything annoying in the loudness. I am certainly not a noob (been an audio engineer since the 1980s), and think that Dave's opinion on this matter is perhaps a bit "stronger" than it need be.
