In terms of composition, this stuff is prime. A good mix of nasty and melody going on here. Excellent sample slicing.
I'm not sure the first vocal adds to what you already have for the intro. The first run is very cool, hot shit and a unique sound going on here. Definitely a cool glitchstep feel. At about the end of the first run it starts to become obvious how much distortion is going on in this track though. Either you are pushing elements of your chains to clipping or you are overdoing your bitcrush a bit, or maybe you pushed it too far at the mastering stage. Either way, it comes off too distorted for me. The compression on the first synth is a bit much too. The build at 1:20 really shows the compression/crushing artifacts most prominently. I really like the sample/hold you have at 2:14. When the vocals come back in they are working in the context of the song, much nicer than the first part. The transition into the melody at 2:45ish needs some work, its a bit abrupt. The shit at 3:08 in the build is awesome. At 3:27 it feels empty and awkward for a moment, but that could be a good thing.
Yeah definitely too much pushing going on, listen to the crashes... they are crushed under the weight of the rest of it pretty much all throughout.

Good feedback, great, thanks mt1!
I have to give some detail that the only place it has compression is the kick and snare, since we all know compression is the worst thing ever and ruins pretty much everything. Instead, there's lots of weird layering going on most of the parts. And believe it or not, there is NO bitcrushing during the whole track.
Good ideas you pointed out tho, I appreciate it and keep them in mind in the future.
LEGENDARY HAPPY HARDCORE TRACK BOOMERANG by Blümchen remixed into a nasty drumstep-style-heavybass tune, coming soon.
