"Wow!"

This is just so amazing. I really don't know why, but somehow I really really enjoyed this. Good job!
I'll start with the melodies. They sound quite unique, and even though they're not exceptionally catchy, they fit so well together and sound great. Some melodies sound really good, especially the ones at around 1:11 and 1:55. The bass was OK, but I think it needs more variety.
What impressed me the most over here were the instruments. So much variety, and each instrument sounds so great. The bells impressed me quite a lot over here, and the saws were cool as well. Good job with the instruments, they were great.
Excellent transitions, the melodies flowed excellently together with many drum rolls and stuff to switch from one melody to another. A lot of instruments were introduced with buildups as well, and that impressed me quite a lot too. Really good song structure too, and even though this song is quite long, it still didn't get repetitive at all.
Nice intro, sightly on the generic side, but well done anyway. Good transition from the intro to the main melody too. The ending was a fade ending, and although fade endings don't often come out well, this did and I can't imagine hearing it end, so the fade was a superb idea.
The drums were awesome, I have nothing to complain about in them. They had good buildups, drum rolls, excellent samples and beats, plus they were varied enough not to get boring. Excellent job with the drums. Loved the reverbed kick as well.
This is a really cool song, with very few defects. I don't see why this didn't get any top 5 or top 30, it's so well done. Keep up the great work, you rock at producing! :D.

Yay! Thank you!
I've gotten close, but this doesn't have enough weight to withstand the weekly Tuesday night zero bombings! It's okay, I don't intend to get famous or powerful and rule the world or anything, I just like making noise.
I'm very happy with the things you pointed out. Some of my goals in this were: 1. To not make it too repetitive, 2. To vary the percussion more than I usually do, 3. To practice my buildups and transitions, so I'm glad to hear that you liked these parts. I also worked for a long time trying to get the instruments to share the soundspace well, this has many many hours of mastering and tweaking behind it-- Nobody has noticed before!
I can't really imagine hearing it end either. Maybe when I'm on my deathbed I'll write an ending to all my music.
I will take these elements and continue to practice them in my music.
Thank you again.
