There's some nice ideas here, but there's a lot of problems that obviously stem from you being new to this. First of all, there's no real tension, release or forward motion. Like, it seems to be constantly building up to something but it never really gets there. The drop had very little impact for this reason. The percussion/drums are pretty basic, nothing that would get me dancing. Might want to work on the groove of the track, cos its a little stiff. The growl sound reminds me a little of Talk to Me by Feed Me, so you could use that as a reference. These are just things you'll improve with practice though.

For some more specific feedback, I'd suggest you focus on your mixing and mastering. It sounds very muddy, which makes your sub bass lose power, so you'd want to use an EQ to do some serious cutting somewhere from 300-500hz (that's a guess, you'd have to find it yourself). Also, some of the higher pitched sounds are quite uncomfortable to listen to, particularly that little whistling sound and the side-chained rising effect which kind of dominates the mix a little too much. So yeah, I'd say mixing is the main issue cos your sound design is pretty good for your level. Good luck!

Thanks so much for the feedback, I am definitely working on the mixing aspect, It's a bear of a task!
