Woah. WOAH. WOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH.

Conceptually, I think it’s brilliant. Beginning with an arythmic noise and blending it with the rhythmic bass is, in my opinion, a great start to a high energy track. My issue, however, is that while it sounds like an ambitious opener, it suffers from a lack of direction and overcompression.

I think I can see the intent behind some of your tonal choices. Matching the bass melody with an overdriven synth a couple of octaves higher seems like the next logical step in swelling the energy even more, and I was wanting to be into it! Unfortunately, there is simply too much competition going on at that point, and I think that can be attributed to the brick wall dynamics trying to figure out whether to emphasize the sub or the high end. I myself don’t mind loudness, but it sounds like you picked a very difficult type of sound to maximize, and I think that would require a very judicious use of EQ and compression tinkering to get right.

And as I mentioned, even for what sounds like an opener, it feels incomplete. I believe you could have easily figured out another 30 seconds and give a bit more interest to the track before moving on. Part of this, I believe, is because it sounds unique and interesting, but also incredibly linear. Yes, there is a structure present, but are we really going to to just cut it after a minute and 20 seconds with nothing but the tails of the reverb and delays? That is a big reason that it gives off “unfinished” vibes.

no crazy drop? bad!!!
