Listened to V1.1 The snare is a little dead sounding (ha I just read the don's posts*). I like the vocals for the most part. The lead could be a hair more interesting. I think the balance of the chorus vocals is a bit off and could use less "lead" and more of the BGVs/Harm parts though overall the BGVs are a bit loud, they just need some rebalancing. Yeah, I'm not a fan of them either but they're what we have to work with.
I think overall it could be a hair brighter. A little more upper mids. It's a pop song and needs that extra bit of sugar and spice to catch the ear. You have to pretend you're a teen girl listening to it.
(*I checked out a bit of V1 and can hear what thedon was referring to regarding the snare/vocal. I think in V1 the snare was 'boxy' and I think those low mids in the snare are what were causing the masking. I still think the snare could have more crack though)

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