Good balance. I'd say most issues with it stem from a lack of planning/direction:
-The bass sounds to me like it's only trying to supplement the kick, so emphasizing treble and making it stand out doesn't work for me. Although around 1:45 it does work very well.
-I struggled with the vocals for a while, I think we just need to go ham on the effects. Delay/saturate/distort whatever, and automating that to keep up with the track's energy.
-Reverb on some guitars works wonders, try it on the softer parts and pan 'em hard.
-The drums need replacing or enhancing, that kick is just not enough I find.
Just what was on my mind while mixing this track. I've been procrastinating on it myself but I think heavy automation is necessary to sculpt the energy the band is going for.
