This is the first track I posted, and I guess now it is also the most recent. I have mostly polished up the mix, eq, and patches. There are a few minor parts I still want to work on but at this point I just want some opinion.
Give me your worst!

I would put this into Experimental category.
It is hard to give an opinion really cause it's not under a specific style. Every style has specific requirements in sounds so you usually can point these things when they are way off.
I did like the happy part and to me it didn't sound very coherent with the first part maybe you should work on the transition more. It is ok to put things that are not coherent but the problem becomes how to move from one to the other without the listener noticing it. Sometimes it can be so hard that it's better to leave the whole idea.

Yes, it is certainly very experimental. I have slowly been working on this for many months now trying anything new I have learned. I do have a tendency in a lot of my songs to have "two songs in one". I have a first part then a dramatic shift into something which is often completely different. I tend to struggle with a proper song structure and everything I make just keeps evolving and rarely comes back around to resolve....but I digress.
Aside from the style of the track, how is the production quality overall? I don't really have access to a great sound system so sometimes I am not sure of what I can't hear (in the process of looking for a respectable sound system right now). Also a few of the patches and and effects weren't behaving but I think I polished off most of the rough edges.

about production i would say its good but maybe you need to work a bit with bass frequencies, or idk if thats the way you want them.. overall is a good track ProtoDrive https://soundcloud.com/protodrive

Yeah, the bass frequencies have been giving me headaches with this track. One thing that helped was layering the bassline. At some points I have three bass patches playing the bassline. This really helped me get the tone and dynamics I wanted while avoiding overpowering certain frequencies. But it still is doing some weird things I am having a hard time pinning them down.
