Hot damn, that sounds fucking massive, haha. I think it sounds decent, but the only problem is that you're confusing me when it comes to the genre. I'm not really that used to hearing such an elongated breakdown in a psy-trance song. I liked it, but it's just not what i'm used too. EQ wise I think the song sounds really great, personally. What software/vsts are you using?

I agree about the overall mix, I think it sounds really good.
I also like stuff thats pushed hard to the limit (of course only if its hard music), so no problem with that I guess.
Kick and bass go along really well.
Nice work with the breakdown, very atmospheric. Nice FX too. Maybe the breakdown is indeed a little long for a Psy tune but I can live with that since its pretty interesting.

Cool glitchwork after that. I like the glitch variations of your lead.

Maybe some of the heights in your sharp saw synth could be turned down just a little bit. Otherwise good work, really kicking!

I am curious. Why do you need to use fm7 and fm8?

I was considering buying fm8 and i was thinking maybe you were using fm7 because fm8 was missing some feature.

Anyways, the song. The breakdown i don't think is to long for psy. I have heard a lot of really long psy breakdowns recently. The breakdown is really interesting with the person talking. And the pad is really cool and has a lot of movement.
