I like the soulful guitar riff at the beginning. There’s a TON of reverb in the texture, though - the mix might sound a bit crisper if you had dialed back the wetness a bit. The sound design is really cool, and I love the rhythmic content too. The atmospheric bridge at :53 is good for some variety, although the transition back into the guitar riff at 1:27 is a bit abrupt. The section at 1:45 sounds especially muddy in the mix, and at some point I would’ve liked to hear some more dynamic melodies, or at least variations on the main melody at :26 that weren’t just copy-pasted. Still, the compositional details and evocative instrumentation help keep me engaged here. Really neat track overall, orelbeatzrealone! ^_^
