Alright, wait up. Gonna try that now.
What are you applying reverb to...and are u using sends ?
Do you have any limiting/clipping on the master ?

OK... I'm going with this 1 now.
Did some EQ-ing/Leveling after all.

How much are you limiting cause your low end is breaking up and your drums sound over compressed .. it sounds squashed.
The reason those 80s records get away with that much reverb is because they gate it...on snares etc...
So time your reverb so that it doesn't blur mask the next transient ....that way you can have it way up in the mix and still keep some clarity....
Put a EQ before it on a send and play with that ...or even a compressor and sidechain duck it if you want a long reverb...that way it won't mask the sample.. but the ambience will swell up in-between ...without masking.

Re-did the reverb cause i wanted the tail to be more present.

it just seems like you're focusing on making everything loud as fukk. forget that shyt for now. cuz it sounds like a big mess to be honest.
balance your elements, give them space. get your instruments working together instead of fighting each other. prioritize. then worry about the overall loudness.

First, what DAW do you mix in? I think some daws allow you to understand better than others.
Second is what are you using to listen to your mix?

So masking occurs on the time domain and doesn't have to be frequency based 
It's obvious but I always thought of it as a frequency specific thing that you use EQ to deal with.
Backward and forward temporal masking ...
Another thing to consider when using compression...
