Quick listen. I'm not a fan of the overall distortion on various parts. Mostly the on the acoustic at the top and the bass? I think. It feels really compressed. Tonally, it works. But it feels like you can take a step back and let the whole thing breath more. It feels like you're trying to force the mix to be something it's not.
It's a lot of tracks but not a lot of parts. I'd say don't be afraid to maybe make some separate session and submix some sections and import those into the master session. To me this kinda feels like a Queen song sometimes. How much did they have to work with? 16? 24 tracks? and some outboard? Make some stems and open up some CPU power. Give yourself some headroom.

It doesn't have to sound good. People just need to think it sounds good.
