Since you said you didn't mix it I won't give feedback on that I guess

#

But 3 things I'm thinking after listening to the whole thing

#

The metal parts sound extremely off, like the guitars and drums are not realistic in any way

#

Which is what you're going for I'm guessing

#

The melody in the last part where you took the original melody and put it over a very fast part feels out of place

#

Like the melody doesn't really fit in that kind of section

#

You'd be better off making a new melody in the same key and maybe putting the original melody over at a later part as a counter melody I think

#

Lastly (most of) the transitions between genres sound really unnatural. Like just cutting between totally different things constantly doesn't exactly make for good song structure. It kinda does the exact opposite

#

Which is really the challenge of making one of these "full flavor" songs

#

You have to not just put as many genres as you can into a song, but actually make them fit

#

Most people get that wrong it seems

#

Especially when a lot of people just throw in genres that they don't listen to that much. Makes it feel like you just did it because, and not because you wanted to practice making a new genre song or because you have passion for that kind of music

#

Makes you ask the question "what is the purpose of this song being full flavor at all?". Are you just doing it because it's "cool" to have many genres in the song? If so I'd argue that that makes your song worse regardless of the quality of the sound

#

Or did you genuinely listen to the original and feel that the remix needed to be full flavor because it would suit it? That 1 to 2 genres wasn't enough but it needed a billion

#

Not accusing you of anything, just wondering after listening

Like even if you just end up with 5 or so that is still pretty good

#

Will allow for much better transitions

#

And lead to a song that actually sounds like you cared about making it flow well
