This is a solid track.  Doesn't sound like anything else out there either, so off the break you score points for originality.

I don't have too much criticism for you.  Most of what I don't like about the track is more personal preference than reality.  (I'm not such a fan of analouge-ish basses, didn't like the snare so much..)

This is mixed very well, with itself anyway.  Nothing clashes, all your elements come through very well.  I just don't know if it would stand up against the majority of records most of us would play at a show, but I don't know if that's so much a mix issue as it is an arrangement issue.  (I.E, if there had been some more resampling and layering without adding anything really new, this would be HUGE.)

I like the arrangement for the most part, although as I said above, I'd like to have seen more variations of the main riffs to cut back on the repetition, but the breakdowns are especially nice, great job setting up those textures.

Mix = 3.5
Arrangement = 3.5
Final Score = 7
