Sounds pretty cool.
It's all opinion in the end but I know another perspective is helpful so, take it with a grain of salt, I am listening on logitech computer speakers (but people do listen through crappy speakers in the real world right? Now that being said the speakers do have subwoofer so I can definitely hear some bass/lows/kick)).
-You have plenty of click on the kick maybe a bit too much, but its a matter of taste, how do you control that? EQ? A really natural sounding way I have found is throw an instance of reaxcomp on the kick and dial in a band in the attack range and compress it a bit to control it, then use the make up gain to dial in how much you want to hear. If the click is the wrong "tone" EQ it before it hits the compressor
-Also the kick lacks some "punch" in the lows or upper bass maybe. So that it gets lost during the dense parts/chorus, when it really needs to drive the song. Either its lacking some frequencies or getting masked by the bass or something.
-The really ambient guitar lead sounds cool but the attack of some of the notes get lost, lose their articulation and it feels a little too distant. This could be for several reasons and therefore several ways to deal with it and you may totally disagree, but a few thoughts depending on what you are going for: increase the level a bit, EQ the guitar itself to make it brighter, or if you really like the lead guitar tone and don't want to mess with it, mayby EQ some instruments that are masking it, to get them out of the way, or put a pre delay on any reverbs to let the articulation through, or EQ the reverbs and delays so they don't mask the lead.
-There are some fairly strong plosives on the "P" sound of perception , for example at about 3:10, one way is to automate those down a bit with a volume envelope.
Again cool song, rock on!
