Interesting.
sysrq, your drums sound so very natural and warm, and I love that. On the other hand, your piano, acoustic guitars, and vocals sound thin. You don't have to press the separation that hard (frequency-wise). It seems very clear that you pushed the high mids and highs to bring out the vocals, while keeping the bass and drums warm. try keeping them both warm, with more mild adjustments.
Finally, I'm not a fan of the vocal effect you chose, but that's mostly just personal taste. I do like the blending of the back up vocals a lot.
Overall, getting those drums so natural against the rest just looses what it could almost certainly have had.
Sorry for the bad news, but frankly, to get the bass and drums sounding so natural means all you have to do is back off trying to hard to split up the frequencies. Mid-Side doesn't mean no blend, nor does L-R, nor does Stereo.
