Pretty crazy intro. Gets a sort of psycho vibe going.

The melodies are not my cup of tea.

The layout of the track isn't very clear either. You could try using windups and FX to build suspense. I would try and play the sample saying 'come on' less times through out the song. Perhaps use delay.

The melody doesn't have to be playing every bar. The bass could come up in the 4th or 8th bar of every few with some higher notes.

Also because the bassline is so continuous it doesn't help you identify how the track is progressing.

Drums have a nice flow to them. The snare seems a bit too short imo. Should be louder against the kicks as well. Would be better to change your beat over a longer period rather than every 2 bars as it would help define the sections better. Perhaps add some ghost snares or perc. Some congas at the back of the mix might fit with this vibe.

Would love to hear the bassline change throughout the song as it seems to be the same two notes for the whole thing. The timbre of your sub is nice though although it feels like there is reverb on the bass. The bass could also be louder on the low end.

Hope this helps.

Oh, those melodies make me incredibly nervous. I found them to be quite annoying.

The sounds you use aren't bad, but they're not great either.

The drums are ok, but are a bit lacking in the high end. Work on the hats a bit more.

Also, your mix is ruined by too much compression.

haha hilarious start... until u get to 20 secs and it still hasnt changed, put something different in there spice it up. drums are nicely done like the pattern. By midway that melody gets a bit tedious, too much high end becomes straining to listen to. sounds like you killed you're dynamic range too by over compressing it. Could also do with a change in the notes of the melody, when thats the focal point of the song you'd want it to be interesting and be going in a sort of direction(speeding up/slowing down the pace, play with sum knobs on the synth, open up a filter make it change sumhow to keep interest in it.

Love the intro sample. Tune sounds very dissonant in places. Good effort.
