The piano at the beginning isn't bad, but it seems over-processed and not super "real" you know?

The mixing/mastering on the percussion is solid. I really liked the initial drop into the bass too, it was sudden and had a good vibe to it.

I liked what was initially going on at 1:08, but when the noise cut out it sounded a bit empty. I think maybe some pluck synths would work well there, or perhaps some vocal chops.

At 1:31 there's a lot going on. I like the sidechain work, but there's too much for me to focus on and everything becomes a bit jumbled.

Really like the percussion work throughout, it all sounded solid and sat great in the mix. The high lead was good too, and wasn't repetitive. The track runs together so quickly and doesn't give the listener much time to breathe and process what's going on however. I would like this track at like a festival or something, but sitting down to listen to it in my spare time would almost make me stressed out in a strange way.

Good job though, it sounds professional and thought out.

I'm working on everything you just said i agree with everything if im going to add a piano why not make it sound more realistic and i feel the emptiness on the drop.. I needed another ear for the second part of the drop I just listened to it over and over I couldn't tell what was good anymore need other views and yea every section is 8 bars each and changes kinda drastically so i can understand what u mean it runs together to fast maybe I need a better transition when the piano cuts off

I got to agree the piano feels super unnatural Try cutting out some high frequencies.

Composition wise pretty good. untill 1:00 when u make a decent composition into a weird rollercoaster lead that is mixed too loud. I think if u stick to that kick snare part that starts +- 0:40 u will have a very good idea of a song. Because that actually sounded really good. imo

Kick could shine louder through the mix. Also feels the kick is overcompressed.

Mixing overall could be much better. Just try to get better at it. Happens over time.

it is pretty solid tho man. Some parts are really good.
