First off, great song, it must be a pleasure working with it.
Anyway, I'll just line up what I think and would have done different.

There is clipping through more or less the entire track, so check that out before you'll master it.

Snare - Is there like an "artsy" reason for it being panned to the right? It is also kind of wet with room/reverb also.
Kick - A bit thin for my taste but most importantly, it sounds "damaged" sometimes (mostly in the chorus).
Toms - Same as with the snare, but this time, all of them panned left.
Cymbals - Maybe a little bit louder in the chorus? Also a little more panning too.

Bass guitar - Depending on the recording of it, a bit more around the 1-3khz area? It has a problem with clipping sometimes too.

Guitars - These need some fixing in the automation. Like in the first chorus, the guitar panned left is very prominent while right is barely there, but then its completely opposite in the second chorus. But as before, artsy reason?

Vocals - Maybe more presence like around 1,5khz - 4khz. Its too much sibilance sometimes and if possible, some boost in the lower frequencies(not in the pre chorus though).


It also sound like there's a filter of applied low-mid on the whole mix, maybe it's a bit too muddy.

Anyway, these are just my 2 cents.

Keep us posted!
