Voelund, I always try to listen to your mixes when I'm around. This song struck me as particularly annoying overall (not your mix--the song!) because of poorly recorded drums and ineffective vocals, not to mention percussion overload. In my mix I actually used Audio Snap to add more drum tracks (Snare/OH/RM) to go with the original ones.
Anyway, with that said, I agree with thedon that your mix is good, but lacking in punch. I think, given the initial recording, that you took a very safe approach; everything sits pretty in a calm mix. Unfortunately, this song seems to require someone to get ballsy with it, 'cause on its own its just a lot of sounds.
Summary:
The Good--Very solid mix, with no particular issues. Very safe mix.
The Wish List--Step out of the safety zone a little and make it kick a bit more.
