Been working on this for way too long, can't tell if it sounds good anymore, just a little feedback would be nice. It's just a sample, but you should get the idea.

Critique the production quality please.

Thanks.

Stupid non-embedding production studio...

I'd drop a bpm or two, it sounds kinda forced. Drums are boring, the clap-offbeat hat pattern all over could use some extra percs & clickers to make it a bit more interesting. Transition at 26 seconds lacks a downer, you got a nice buildup, then that sequence appears from nowhere, a long sidechained processed cymbal would add some momentum to it. The sequence coming afterwars however, is too loud and drowns the rest of the sounds. The acid-ish arp you have sounds kinda weak, dated. Doesn't fit in the general sound idea like it should.
Last but not least, kick isn't fitting the track too much, it's kinda weak and weird sounding, try a more punchier, banging one.
That's all I could muster up from that 1 min sample, you have a good clue on eq & general mixing, just needing some practice I think :)

And if you're tired of this, go and work on something else, start a new project, etc, and leave this one be for a while, then you'll get a fresh perspective with fresh ears, much better than raping yourself with forcing to work on one piece till it's done, it's never good :)
