I've only checked out mix 3.1 and I suck so take my opinions with a grain of salt.
In the intro, the 'kick drum' kinda percussion on the left side has a lot of 'weight'. I don't know if it's just low end (100hz area?) or what but it kind of dominates the intro. For me at least. And I want to focus on the vocals in the intro but there's a lot going on, musically, and I think the vocals could be a bit more center stage in the intro, in general.
Overall, the mix is a bit too mono for my tastes and I want to say that's bad but honestly, I can hear everything. It's a busy arrangement at times, in a good way, and I'd think spreading the elements across the stereo image would be a good thing to open up some space for the vocals. But, it works. So good job there. I'd still like more stereoness but I'm just being greedy.
I do feel like the guitars electronic are kind of in the way of the vocals. They could either come back or just be eq'd differently to make some space for the vocals. It feels like everything is vying for the 2k real estate. And maybe in in the 700-800 Hz range. Yes, I said 'in twice'.
Anyhoo. I'm late to the party but that's what jumped out at me, globally on that mix.
