Hi kapu,
The mix definitely has energy and punch, and it's better balanced that it seems. There's just a couple things that stand out to me:
The combination of ultra defined, very hyped up on the highs drums with that huge reverb behind them. It's a cool effect to add depth but I think it makes the song suffer as a whole. When the drums bang along the rest of the instruments, the reverb kinda merges with the rest of the stuff, and the transients come up very much in the high end, too much for my taste. Probably more suited for more extreme music styles with thicker walls of guitars.
I like the mixes when the voice is just a little buried, but it needs a bit of automation to help it "surf above" the different parts of the song. Alternatively, try adding a copy of the voice an octave lower in the busiest parts (really subtle, like 15-20 db below the main).
