I was just on your channel actually.
I like it, and you'll be happy to hear it gets a good to the beat nod from me.
Though the melody does stay pretty much the same speed through out the song, so maybe making that solo type thing at 1:27 a bit faster and upbeat would of made it more interesting.
And the melody was the same throughout the whole song (even though I'm no one to talk ;) ). But I'm no one to criticize, I'm very new and not that good to be honest.
But other then that this is a seriously epic track. Especially the wub wub, it seems like something out of a Hollywood Action Blockbuster!

Thanks a ton for the feedback ^^
I'll be sure to change up a few parts, i'll probably re-release it some time in the future ;)

I agree with most of Eric's analysis, but here are my two cents as well.

While there's definitely some variation in instrumentation and lead, it needs more. This could be simple, like a tempo change as suggested above, or drastic, like a completely new melody in some of the sections. The stuff you have sounds great, but too much greatness can kill it. Take a look at the Youtube attention stats for the video and see where people are leaving - that should give you a good idea of what parts could use some work, and what parts are already perfect.

Wow, this is pretty dramatic! Love the vibe throughout the song. The wubwubwub bit sounds a little too fuzzy/crowded, perhaps dropping down a couple of instruments and making your wubs more jarring, and just all around meatier could help improve the impact of the section. I do have to agree with everyone else here though, the song could really use more diversity in dynamics; it kinda wears out its original pull around the second wub section, and just leaves me wishing for something fresh from then on.

Also, the ending is a little sudden, I'd recommend letting the string ring for a little while, or something.

Great job on the song altogether, though!
