Volume can be fixed easily enough in any DAW, but there is nothing in the world that can save it from absolutely ridiculous levels of compression this poor thing received in mastering. When adjusted to hit 0.0 db its hitting 7.4 LUFS which is totally insane considering this is not a club-intended master and thus should sit around 8.5-9.0 LUFS. By crushing living fuck out of the dynamics you kinda destroyed what sounds like pretty good mixing and sound design work. While song underneath sounds pretty decent, due to literal non-existence of any dynamics it is totally non-engaging to listen to. Not releasing proper master of this thing is a disgrace.
Okay. This is really good.
Lets start with structure. Intro is a bit too long, but it isn't that big of a deal. I'd still like if song got to the point a little quicker. Other than that, structure is excellent, with enough variations, breaks, changes etc. Great job.
Now the music itself. Its your classic style that I enjoy so damn much. Its very unique yet it still sounds amazing every time. I don't exactly know how you do it but good job on that too. Oh yeah, I loved those leads. They do kinda have that F-777 flavor.
And at last, the production. As per usual, mixing is excellent. I'd say it can get better, but not by much. Certainly far above my level of mixing skill to actually give you any useful info. Anyway, mix is excellent. Drums are punchy and perfectly clear, and compressed perfectly. Background elements are there if you want them but fall back if you don't. Leads are very well EQ'd, I'd guess compressed as well, and they know their place one could say. Soundstage is also very good, but could be improved with quiet perccusive elements panned far out. Just a suggestion.
So, pretty much, other than intro, I don't really have any nitpicks I'd like to note. Excellent song, as usual. Keep it up dude.

Hey, thanks for the detailed feedback! I definitely indulged myself on the intro :) I agree with you on panning small percussive elements, it's something I don't pay much attention to most of the time and I'd like to change that.
Lateral delt is kinda oversized, reducing its size to be more proportional compared to the rear and front delts would've made this basically perfect. Pretty sick looking either way.
Im not really into photo editing but what i can say is that this is my new wallpaper. Ever thought of trying synthwave art/music?
This is awesome :D
