The intro is certainly interesting... I wasn't sure I'd like it but I've warmed up to it.

That clap is super weird. Sounds muffled and a bit left-heavy in the stereo spectrum.

I'm not sure I like that pitch bend thing you did around 0:42 or so - it doesn't seem to really fit well.

That lead sounds a bit too high-heavy when it hits those higher notes.

Around 1:00 I don't like that pitchbendy synth in the background. Just my opinion though - production wise it's fine.

At 1:15 or so you kinda jump into the buildup rather suddenly. While the buildup itself is mostly fine, it's jarring. The only thing I'd fix about the buildup is the "helicopter" effect you get from the sidechaining when you get the kick playing rapidly at the end.

The drop... it's too noisy. The bitcrushed percussion (?) and other such elements kind of amalgamate into an ocean of noise. The vocals are a tad muffled in the drop as well, just bring up the highs a little bit or something. I can hardly hear the clap too.

That said, I like the progression towards the end. It's cool.

The outro is sudden, but I actually think it works quite well here as it is.

Well, there you have it. Perhaps not too thorough, but I found this track surprisingly difficult to critique in a lot of depth, sorry. Overall I'd say it's a solid start and could definitely be developed into something quite good.
