Is the vocal reverb in the verses actually necessary? It's not kind of characterful enough to be a production hook in its own right, and otherwise isn't as efficient as an ambience at blending the vocal. If you're more tickled by it than me, then fine, but I thought I'd just query whether you'd thought it through.
When you hit the choruses, you're letting the guitars, cymbals, and vocals all hit the 3-6kHz region quite strongly, and it becomes a bit abrasive for comfortable listening at higher volumes, which is a shame, because otherwise the sound seems quite full.
The piano reverb in the middle section feels very odd, really expanding the stereo width in a way that it's not been up to that point, and isn't in the following chorus. The vocal balancing goes to pot there too, so I'd reassess that whole section myself.
I like the reverse cymbal into the little mid-verse-2 drop. Nice touch!
