Really weird and aggressive intro, I think it would sound way a lot better is you put a LP and HP filter in the intro and make the soudn fade in.
Also, during the buildup until 1:25 you could be automating those filter's cutoff frequency to make it interesting.
At 1:25, the beat comes back in, but the remaining audio spectrum is empty.. you could place a delay on your last lead and let it delay out, bringinh in and defining a space for the track to be in.
Also, I think the bass is 1 octave too high, try lowering it 1 octave so it's deeper.. I also think the kick will glue together way better this way.
@1:38 - That perc loop doesn't sound good and is very repetitive. You can easily make this work if you change the sound over time, I say increase distortion over 30 seconds and do some processing like pitch shifting, making it go up and then down in a long LFO for 16 or 32 beats.
You have a lot of side chaining on your bass bus, when the kick is there it doesn't sound necessarily bad but when the kick is not playing it becomes very noticeable, as the bass gains maybe 4 - 5 db. You should (haha nothing is solid there are no rules!) really just lower the bass so it's at a nice volume with the kick, and use the side chain to just lower the bass a bit when the kick is on, and only when the kick is playing.. If your kick is actually playing for the whole beat (1/4 bar) than your should make it shorter (since you have a gallop bassline K BBK BB you can get away with having the lick 1/2 bars long).
Also when the kick isn't playing (on a break), you could take away your bass as well. The way it is it just seems like the bass is looping non stop over the whole track.
3:17 - you could place a reverb on your last leads, with a really long tail, to make them wash away in the break, plus I think a delay omn the snare right between 3:16 and 3:17 would work great, as that snare when rolling really fast sounds like a sound effect.
Keep it up never stop making more and more! Hope I helped
