Balloon Party track o awesome!

It's pretty bad, so I need a ton of criticism. The balloon party due date is right around the corner so I need to finish this soon!

P.S. What's a better, more generic title I could give this track?

No comments? Man, it must suck lol. I can just release this I guess. I wanted some ideas on how I could improve the insanely terrible intro.

In general, maybe pick a better kick sample, or just EQ that clicking out the one you have. And your sound design could stand to be a bit better; unless you were going for an airy sound with your lead, I'd make it a bit bigger and more aggressive. Oh, and try to keep the samples from sticking out so much - you can do this by EQing, and then adding effects (I usually add reverb or a bandpass to fit vox in) until it sounds like it's naturally a part of the song.

On the intro: Maybe add a pad or something? At the very least, a downlifter at the end would be a good way to make it more interesting.
Youtube -- Soundcloud -- Tumblr -- Bandcamp (new album out!)

I can't feel my brain.

Put some echo and/or reveerb on the drums at the intro. that's my advice for making them more lively. I think the sample itself is fine though, but giving them some nice effects would certainly add presence so that they don't feel like a couple of flat drums in your ear. (A pad may very well work too in the bg)

I really like the melody you have going. Nice drop too. You did a good job at shifting from one to the next.

Definitely take colortwelve's advice on the voice clips. Additionally, sometimes it can even be as simple as matching the volume of the clips (as how they sound, not necessarily their actual volume) to your mid/high instruments, in order to make everything progress at the same level, and not have sudden bursts of loudness or out of place dips in volume.

Thanks so much guys, I really need the critique! Any ideas for an even worse title? I'm trying to make it as horribly unoriginal as I can.
