hey Cudjoe. Listened to final mix....looks like you've been through a few versions.
i think you've done a great job sorting through all the guitars and getting a sonically dense and more importantly, a pleasing balance. Bass, drums and guitars all hang together powerfully and you've left enough headroom to sit the vocals nicely which is always tricky in this sort of mix
i'm not overly convinced by the flat harmony BGVs being pushed to the fore in the choruses but maybe its 'cos i'm so used to the lead melody .... i'm sure it will grow on me (....in fact it is)
.
cheers,
Simon

Be fierce in your encouragement, kind in your criticism and try and remember that the art of a good critique is not to make someone else's mix sound like yours...but to help the mixer realize their own vision.
