A quick listen before coffee but it feels good. I think the vocal might be a bit too wet and or out front but I don't hate it. I'm more listening as the band as opposed to me. I'm kinda missing 'feeling' the floor tom in the pre-chorus. I feel like they were part of the melody somehow that never really came through the recording.
It's interesting reading your post because the one thing that jumps out at me is the kick. It's not subby, as far as I can tell but very much in the front but not in a bad way. Maybe it's a little disconnected? At least in the intros/verses.
I think the sub frequency subject comes from the relatively recent ability for the average person being able to reproduce them and not having to worry about the low end for vinyl. I'm all for using all the frequencies we can, safely. It's primal, I get it. But most people do abuse it and don't know how to use/handle it.
It works. It's pleasant to listen to. The vocal is in the spotlight. It's a good mix. Maybe it could do more but it's good as is.
If anything changes after I have my coffee I'll let you know. It's a new brand so hopefully I'll be in a good mood.

It doesn't have to sound good. People just need to think it sounds good.
