I only gave it a quick listen and my general impression was it was fine. A bit midrangy and maybe mono. Though the blends work in the narrow stereo image. Nothing is really fighting anything else. Still, emotionally I wonder if there's a bit too much...2k? +/-. It doesn't hurt to listen to and that's good but I kinda want more of a scooped feel. Or, maybe I'm wrong.
I will say from a mix point of view it was hard to get 'sucked in' to the mix. The first 10 seconds and certainly the first 30 seconds weren't catchy. That's a fault of the song, yeah but as mixers we should look towards polishing a song and have the perspective of the listener. I don't say this as a flaw of your mix but just something we should all be aware of. There's this big bass fill and then...a hi-hat count. I think the mix could be better if you figured out a way of keeping the listener's attention up until the vocal. I kinda struggled, to be honest. That said, I wouldn't go over the top. I'd cut bars before I'd go to special effects.
I hope that makes sense.
