I like the energy at the beginning. The lead synth there sounds a tad harsh in the treble range of the frequency spectrum - perhaps some filtering could help fix that. The chord progression, sound design, and arrangement of this piece are all pretty generic, but it’s also pretty catchy and upbeat. I like the melodies at :37, although the drums could’ve come through a lot stronger in the mix here. The breakdown riff at 1:24 is also catchy, but once again the snare at 1:39 sounds really weak. The filtering and distortion on the piano at 1:50 are pretty cool, and the transition back into the main melodic phrase at 2:51 is well done. I might’ve liked to see you add more variety to the harmonic framework and/or main melody during the second half of the piece, though. Even a key change or brief post-chorus would help add a level of interest here that’s currently lacking. Overall, my biggest complaint is probably how cliche the piece is, but the mixing could also be a lot tighter. There’s a lot to like here between the rhythmic content, memorable melodies, smooth progression, and atmosphere, though. Keep at it, Panacea! ^_^
