Ahhh man, I love this! Great balance/levels, compression on the vocals is beautiful (this was really special for me), and spectral balance/separation is gorgeous. Mastering is very transparent, any limiting you're doing is completely inaudible, and the vocal harshness/sibilance, well... I dunno how you pulled it off, but it's great. I love the different EQs/depths on the counterpoint chorus vocals, too. Really, an awesome mix.
The only things I didn't like... there's quite a bit much wetness on the vocal in relation to the rest of the mix. It's not really muddying it up or dragging it or anything like that, it just feels a bit much to my taste. And I'm pretty sure the loops were separated the way they are for stereo fiddling like you used, but it was a bit uncomfortable for me when the heavier snare-sh drums come in. I think it'd be kinda disorienting in headphones but I didn't check. This could very well be a personal taste thing, too. This is excellent work, I'm really impressed.
