the clap feels to loud for me...
hihats, claps och drums could use some work...
bass is a little bit untight but the sound of the bass is really cool (sounds "full")

the "analog" pad in the beginning is great (maybe it needs some more spread/width in the stereofield)
the arp square that comes in after is a little bit to "plipp plupp" if you understand that definition :-) a lower octave sound is needed is my opinion...
the lead "punches" that comes after that is really great...

I really like your rythmic structure of the track... changes in the track are marked very well with rythmic elements... overall structure seems to be well thought out and all elements fits together very well.

Overall sound of the track is a little bit to "metallic"
Sound quality is not so good... the track is heavily distorted (check it in an oscilloscope and all you'll see is a big squarewave :-)
the metallic sound could be partly a product of the distortion
I don't know what software you used but it sounds very "Fruityloops"

musically it's all good... melody is good... chord progression is very good

Thanks for the comments, very thorough, I'll make some changes later.

And I used Cubase with VSTs, not FL, but I'm still finding my way around it (only started using it 6 or so weeks ago). Cant get fx channels to work either >_<

like oldschool said - sound quality is very poor, sounds distorted at times too. 3:30seconds is too long of an intro dude, nothing much happens till the break, and you need more build elements- fx. The break melody is cool, and the build elements there are great. The melody itself is a bit repetitive, doesnt seem to progress anywhere- i thought that after the break you would introduce something new...
The rythmic elements are very poorly mastered in- I would boost that kick a bit and give it more punch with some compression - or get another kick and lower the clap volume. Keep at it and you'll have a powerfull track in no time thanks for sharing.
