Yeah the first mix has a lot of flaws, definitely but I wouldn't call it "super crap". And I did level match the different versions.
I have to be honest, while there are certainly improvements in the second mix it loses focus on the vocals. Every part sounds great but they tend to crowd each other. They're all running for the front of the stage and it makes the stage feel smaller. Each instrument is really in your face except for the vocal and by contrast it feel hidden in the back. If the track opened up for the vocals by bringing stuff back or changing up the sounds a bit and getting the vocal to have a sound that competes with the rest of the band it'd be at the next level.
It's obvious that you've learned a lot and you've developed a better ear and ability to get sounds you want just keep in mind the final product and supporting the song and vocal. Things are sounding great. Keep up the good work and improvement.
