The lead at 1:59 sounds chintzy to me. Perhaps you could shorted the release, or just use a different sound.
The piano is beautiful, and doesn't sound automated at all. It sounds thin, though, or quiet?
I like that riser at 2:50, reminds me of OVERWERK, but it seems to be too loud, and makes the drop underwhelming.
The lead at 2:57 feels like it should be more powerful, maybe get rid of the low pass filter and up the sustain.
The delay effect at 4:00 sounds a bit too upfront, perhaps make it a bit more quiet, or put a filter on it, so it's more in the background, but still makes the lead more interesting.
The snare at 4:51 could start earlier. For music like this, I like to have four measures total for the snare riser, two measures of the snare at quarter notes, then one measure at eighth notes, then one at sixteenths with some kind of added flair, such as having them continuously be pitched up or by having a syncopated fill right before the drop.
The claps at 4:55 are rly loud tho. ow
The second drop could have some more to keep it from being repetitive, I can hear that you used some sound effects, but I think a secondary lead would do the job better, and you can use the sound effects on both drops to create some atmosphere. But, leave out the reversed kick drum, if that's what I'm hearing on every 2 and 4 in the second drop, it's a bit irritating.
Everything else is beautiful, though, especially the intro. I absolutely adore how that arp sounds. luv it~
