I tried to do something different this time.
All samples in this are either Edirol Orchestra, or COMPLETELY made from scratch!
No more presets (except for Edirol), and it feels so nice to know how to make stuff now.
Anyway, hope you like the song! It's a WIDESPREAD release! You can also find this track on these platforms:

Hmm...
The melodic themes fit well with your harmonies, and the phrasing is really nice. Some good evolution between each couple bars.
The only big thing here is the mix. It's a little... all over the place. A lot of instrumentation battling for the same frequency space - you're getting a lot of fighting between the kick and the saw and your bass-lines; the snare is just barely pushing through; the risers don't have as much impact since it just underneath everything else that's happening.
Some of this can just be fixed with some equalization; doing side-chain or parallel compression with the kick and the snare to ensure their transients push through.
That's really the only big thing.
TL;DR: your composition on its own is pretty good, but is suffering from lack of a proper mix to make sure each instrument fits and molds around each other. Suggest doing some EQ and parallel/side-chain compression overall.
Not bad!

Thanks for your review! Here's my comments.
I do know this mix lacks sidechain, but that's kind of the point this time around. There are parts that I don't want to be drowned out by kicks and snares. The EQ thing is a different story. It just seems that every time I EQ something, it sounds absolutely horrible. I'm EQ'ing my newest song now, so it should be EQ'd just fine, and you'll see what I mean. PM me if you have anything else to say, but otherwise, thank you!
