It could use more 'energy'. That probably means more hi-end. Though, it is a little 'hissy'. It sounds like an early 80s mix but not in a bad way. More Dio than....whatever the kids listen to these days. It doesn't feel over compressed but very contained. Maybe it a tape saturation kinda way.
The things that really jump out at me is the forwardness of the kick and that the group vocals are kinda in the back. They are yelling after all. The bass distortion is also too out front and distract from the vocals. The vocals could grab me more. Not a fan of the snare. Maybe the gate feels too obvious. If it's not gated then...well.
It's not a bad mix. I rather like the sound. But it might not be 'modern' enough.

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