Very nice. I wuv you.
"Time is dependent on the subject. Those who move slowly take more, those who move quickly take less, but each think they take as much as everyone else. Every day seems longer while we're in it, then shorter the more days have passed. We do not know what time it will be, only what time we tell it to be. Seconds are only a name to organize us, but without that name, time has no boundary, it can stretch and move at will. Minutes turn to hours, years to weeks, months to blinks of an eye. Time is only existent through our eyes, and is the subject of one of the many things that makes humans different from any other living creature: we try to see what comes after it."

Hey! Nice work on this piece. It's very energetic and captivating.
Suggestions
-at :22, I really wanted to here a huge orchestral bass drum hit that would resonate for a little bit. What you have now just doesn't seem to have a lot of presence or cut through much. Something with some more attack and sustaining power would be epic.
-After :22, a flute-sounding instrument comes into the background. I personally want to hear more of that on the foreground. Try boosting the volume and taking a little reverb off of it.
-The choir sample sounds a little cheesy to me. It was thin and had an awful lot of attack for a choir. I'd try finding something with a little more warmth and legato. Maybe check sound soundfonts on hammersound?
-Also, choirs are naturally very dynamic. They don't just sing one note after another...No, they sing each note in connection, in a line. They crescendo to the top of that line and come down from there. They even swell in the middle of a single sustained note. Try attaching the choir main volume (In MIDI, the CC#7 parameter) to an automation clip and getting the choir to crescendo to the top of a phrase and come back down from it. It will sound way more organic, flowing, and generally awesome. I'm refering to the high voices doing melody around 1:15 BTW, not the basses that sing quietly throughout the piece.
-You have a cool piece here. The drums, synths, and other instruments create a nice soundscape. The piece sounds like background music though because it doesn't have a strong sense of melody. The choir in the middle helps a little bit, but your piece would be much more memorable if you had a developed melodic idea.
Good work on this, Criminal. It could use a little more refining and development, but I like what you've got.

Thanks for the review!
Now, that suggestion at 0:22, it's gonna be hard, lol. I can imagine what it sounds like, so I'll see what the after-effect will be.
That 'flute-sounding' instrument is actually a pad. I thought the pattern it plays isn't significant enough to be with the main pattern, and I wanted background sound, thus I kept it like that. I'll see what difference it will make with higher volume and/or reduced reverb.
This song is the first song that I used a choir on. I don't know much about how it works, actually. I'll try to do that choir in connection mode, though. ._.
We'll see how my laggy laptop will handle the changes I will make! =P
