Hi! One and a half month you say?
For a beginner, you sound great! I remember how my music sounded when I just started. (Hint: Laughable.)

As for the negatives, a set of points:
0:07 - Bass is in unison with the lead. Makes it sound boring. Try harmonizing.
0:16 - Vocals are clipped. Is the distortion intentional?
          Also, the bassline is doing it's own thing. Sounds like it shouldn't be there.
          Try something else. Something that would compliment the singing.
1:01 - I like the buildup. Sounds like something epic is going to happen.
1:16 - ... what? Sounds half-assed. Spend more time on it, and it can be great.
          Also, try bringing out the kick more. It's swallowed by all the rest. Tip: Use EQ to bring out the low frequencies.
1:47 - Piano is distorted.

Other than that, you're doing good!
Keep up the hard work.

Hey Iyan,

Cool track dude, for a month and a half I'm extremely impressed. Took me about a year before I finished my first track.

Sounds like you might have upped the gain a little too much when mastering, some parts of the track are a little distorted. Are you using much compression? What mastering techniques did you use? Have you looked a multi-band compression?

Peace,
