Drums are definitely lost. You have enough kick, but the brush snares are drowning. Also at times the guitars and piano are fighting. Need to give the piano it's own space, maybe lessen it's spread and give it a little more center presence. I also agree on pulling back the vocal a touch.

I also think there are some missed opportunities in the production. The guitars accompaniment could be better. They should put their extra improv licks in when the vocalist is not singing, they seem to be doing their thing when he's till singing for the most part. You could try riding the piano up in those holes. At the end of the verse where he sings "thats the way it is" just after that is the perfect spot to ride up the piano. You should do that either with the guitars or pianos in different holes.
