Hey Jim,
already a good first mix here are my thoughts.
Suggestion:
- The drums have to be very "tight" in this (in my opinion) they need to come up a bit, especially the snare
- Rework the Kick sound... Sounds like a mid-range "pop" to me;
- Ringing snare pretty neat but a little much, also to attack focused at 1:18
- I have the feeling that balance is off. Cant tell you why it just sounds disconnected to me (maybe guitars in chorus (0:50) too loud)
- Also some audible clicking and distortion
- Sometimes the mix sounds clutterd, maybe you need a bit more subtractive EQ or whatever to create more seperation? Could also be arrangment tweaks.
Edit:
- I have listend to takkas version and his mix just glues/fits together better, so probably some kind of balance issue.

P.S.: Listen to my "Trip Toe Through The Crypto" Mix? I think it is my best mix yet (v4) and I would like to have more feedback on that
