Fresh ears please (again)

Hi all
I am mixing this tomorrow so this is the end of day mix that will be the basis for the final mix tomorrow.
Anything need to be changed?

Low end seems a little undefined. The kick doesn't really hit me like I want it to, but that could be an intentional decision for that style of music.

Snare could use some presence 5k or 8k (unless it has a lot of bleed from the cymbals)
OHs and hats are a bit piercing sometimes
Kick is a bit cardboardy but it may fit the style

Guitars could use more middles. A whole lot more actually.

Boost the kick at 150Hz & 5k on a bus (& what someone else said about the snare). Kind of cool, I like this sound a lot like it is so make sure to EQ with something like Redline EQ I that lets you blend your old sound or use a bus & EQ that/send drum part through that and the Master bus.

Tell me more about your drums. I like the sort of room with fuzzy carpeted walls kind of sound that's happening.

I took another listen to the mix and thought everything blended quite well but the frequencies were a bit off. Too bright and not enough mids. Maybe I'd have the kick and snare higher in the mix and overheads lower in the mix. Anyways master EQ fixed the mix quite a bit so I made a REMIX of it for you to listen to. This way the mix is way more pleasing at least with my monitoring.

Basically I boosted some frequencies even 7dB between 200hz and 4000hz.

Snare and kick need to be reworked to work this way.

Thanks as always guys.
I listened this morning and you were right.
Severely lacking mids.
That's what I get for trying to balance a mix after tracking guitars all day

Here is the final
