Welcome to the forums. Evaluation: This is awfully quiet right from the get go. Had to turn up the volume a lot. The lead could also be louder so as to let the listener direct it's focus to it (they are close to where they should be now, so it won't take much of an increase in volume to get them where they should be). Those are some lovely pads you have going on, I like how airy they are. You absolutely want to add some modulation them so that they have some movement. It could be filter sweeps, vibrato automation, volume automation...something to keep them moving and less static. The biggest issue is the arrangement, it's pretty much the same as the original source. You're going to want to inject some of your own creative twists and turns into it to make it your own. Especially if you're planning on submitting to OCR. The ending leaves something to be desired and just...suddenly ends. Definitely could have something there that would give the listener a feeling of completion or finality. You can definitely use this as a starting off point to develop into something greater. Good luck.

Hey everyone! This is my version of the lava level song from Donkey Kong Country 2: I went for an old-school, Pink Floyd-ish vibe but with a more modern production. Experimented with some synths and lush pads to put more depth to the usual rock guitar, bass and drums. I'm really happy with the results, hope you like it too! Please provide some feedback, it would be greatly appreciated! Have a great one!

Duuuude this is so sick its like Dream Theater and Risk of Rain. Love it!

Production is very clean, dig it. Vibe is very enjoyable. I'd look at implementing some mod wheel or modulation of some kind on the synths when they play leads so they don't just stagnate after hitting their trigger. They are fine as is now, it would definitely help them go to the next level. 2:54-3:03 nice original bridge to transition back to the head. 0:55-1:04 and 3:21-3:37 both get very full and are approaching muddy. While they are brief sections, see if there's anything you could do to clean them up some. I'm guessing it's a wash of reverb on the pads that's causing it. Double check that you don't have clipping going on too, I suspect there may be some at 0:55 or it's a compression/limiter artifact. Unfortunately I'm unable to download the audio file from YouTube to check it in DAW. Arrangement is solid, production issues are minor and can be fixed. I'd like to see this with the tiny bit of clean-up and then submitted as it's very close to done IMO, for now I'm placing it back to WIP.
