Good prog rock arrangement, great progression. The quality of
instruments and the recording is great from what I can tell on these
headphones here.

I don't like the drum timing at all, it feels off-beat and delayed. It
should be punctuating and rock solid. Don't humanize this. Drummers
aren't humans %)

Your voice is rather deep and deserves a completely different
arrangement... it's mostly drowned by the rest of the arrangement. I
hardly understand the lyrics.

That, or the song would tremendously benefit from transposing the
vocals an octave or at least a few notes higher. Also, some backing
vocals would also add a lot.
