In order of importance, I would rank the elements of a great mix as follows:
1) Dynamics: Impact & Punch
2) Spectrum: Balance, Clarity & Warmth
3) Image: Colour & Stage
4) Loudness
This seems fairly well balanced, but lacks impact. It occurs to me that (4) without (1) is useless. I've turned down the track volume to match what I want to hear, and now it lacks both.
