I'm afraid I can't agree, at least not entirely, with pauli and bmullen here. I think this mix still needs quite a lot of work, particularly those vocals. They don't sound like they have any low frequency definition at all, as if they've been passed through a highpass filter set to roll off everything below 500 Hz, and the mids are way too far forward, creating kind of an AM radio sound to them. The whole mix is actually a little on the bright side for my taste, to be honest, and the vocals are getting lost totally in the latter half of the song (though my colleagues above already pointed that one out ).
Now on the plus side, dialling back on the reverbs was definitely the right choice. In your first mix the reverbs clashed so badly I couldn't make out most of what was going on; now there's a lot more definition and it sounds a lot better. Also, I must admit you got the drums sounding better than I did on my first attempt so while most of the rest of the mix is a bit too bright the drums, to my ears, sound spot on as they are.
This mix definitely has potential. Nice overall balance, if a little cluttered, and nice drum sound.
