To me it sound like you have mix together except the guitars. Drums and bass mix sounds good but where is the guitar?
Same thing in chorus. And well maybe kick could be a bit louder. Or just the hit/slap.
But in chorus I think that the lead voc + bvox are too loud. I like the big sound of bvox but the balance is a little out of hand.
And I'm not sure if you have your reverbs sort out. Keys, guitars and bvox doesn't really sound like they are in the same space or time(in decades).
This is just guessing but do you have some sort of multiband comp in master that sucks out the deep low end?

I think that guitars could be louder or more up front in your mix. The guitar solo part is ok but in chorus I think that I hear clearly only the first guitar track (21)
For drums I miss more attack/click/slap to kick drum. The snare sound is good and solid from start to finish but that really come in front of the guitar after the intro. Don't change the the snare but boost guitars a bit.
I don't want to sound like an asshole and boost my own ego but listen the intro of my mix and compare it to intro of your mix. Maybe that will tell more clearly what I try to say with my bad english.
"Balance out of hand". To me vox are too loud in chorus and bvox somehow are more clearer and louder than the lead voc.
That can also be the sound. Maybe there is more presence boost in bvoc compared to lead voc.
In any case I think that the lead voc should be in that number one spot and that's why I write out of balance.

Someone here has a signature saying something like "Mix isn't ready ever. It is just abandoned."
I say one thing of your "final" mix and next one says something different
I like very much how your mix has evolved. Not sure if everyone else share my opinion.
One thing that I noticed from this post 7 mix.
The guitar versus lead voc. The transient, the hit of guitar can come up front of the lead voc but that sustain should fall behind of the lead voc.
Either presence EQ, level adjustment, wave shaping or sidechain comp/gate could fix this. Or all of those listed used to balance those tracks.

Your balance is getting a lot better. There seems to be too much build up in the lower upper mid range in the guitars especially. Try toning them down around the 2-3K area and see if that helps and perhaps tame their transients with a bit more compression threshold.
