Would like some feedback on this track. - Dogs of Napolean - , kind of inspired by Animal Farm, hence the name, and by what's going on in the world today what with the virus and all.

Made it on FL Studio. Mostly I want feedback on the mix and master. I always give feedback in return.

I think it has kind of a Michael Jackson Dirty Diana feel to it. Feels like a rainy, depressing tone at times.

for some reason, the words in the first post are blacked out. Anyway, the link for the track is here: The Dogs of Napolean - Clyp

and like I said in the first post, I'm mostly looking for feedback on the mix and master, but other advice would be welcome. I always return feedback, so any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
 
Nice work. I have to ask... what's the inspiration behind the title!? Like the sinister, rather bare feel that the track has. Almost sounds like a conversation among different synth lines. If I had one criticism I'd say it needs to grow a little more into a climax or B section - just some variation because it's quite samey from beginning to end. But as I say I like the feel and the mix (to my very untrained ears) sounds OK to me.

Yes I've gotten that criticism from another user at another board, and I'm starting to agree. I thought it seemed fine, and that I varied it plenty but apparently I didn't.

The dogs of napolean was referencing napolean's dogs. There was a character named Napolean in the book Animal Farm, an authoritarian ******* and a pig, literally and figuratively. He surrounded himself with a legion of dogs who'd do his bidding, and viciously assassinate those he and his followers deemed a threat. I saw a video not too long ago, of a couple who was forcibly removed from their home by police officers to be taken to a hospital and tested for covid19. That just really pissed me off, and made me think of that book so I titled it that way.
