hey,
fisrt i want to say that your construction of the song globally is quite good.
one thing that strangles my ears is that the snare drum is way to quiet. the snares and the hats are a bit background. some bassounds should be a bit louder. dont like the synth sounds at 3.00 (sound a bit cheap in my opinion).
It sounds a bit that your snare is at the same freqs. as the hats.
Its very spherical but i think to the end you should put some more sounds , noises, terror , ... ??!!
It needs a bit more to take me higher 
2,90/5
cheers

I think that first synth is a touch cheesy, but style considerations aside, i think it's a bit dry, in need of some reverb or delay. Build up is good with the changing pitch with the vocals. You're good at structure and using different samples to maintain interest, but your beats, especially your snare, sound absolutely drenched in reverb, and therefore have the impression of being too far behind everything else. The pad @ 3:40 is a much stronger sound than the one you had at the start, consider replacing the first one? 2nd drop is a good progression

Intro is a bit cheesy indeed, but I think that was the intention. Try making this sound a bit warmer though.
Drums drop with a nice and warm sub. Good, but snare could use a slight boost.
Drop: wickid bassline again, as one might expect from you. Drums need a boost though, and make them a bit punchyer. Turn down the hats a tad too, they are too agressive on the ears.
Breakdown with the armospheric sweeps are nice. Vocal sounds a bit out of place here though.
Like it when these come back in after the second drop. nice interaction with the bassline (like you had in your previous tracks too) although they are a bit too loud here.
You surely know how to make intresting tunes and how to make melodies interact nicely, but you really have to practive on your mixdowns.
3.75/5 for the track
2.5/5 for the mixdown
