* Sound design
The first build-up drums sound a bit too obvious, the second one is better.
Maybe adding more layers to the riser, or at least 2 slightly different alternating snares...
Otherwise, most of the sounds are nice, maybe the main bass could sound better when layered with a sub bass (sine, or distorted sine with a lowpass filter...)
* Mixing
I don't have clear complaints here, just maybe the guitar on the last part could have a bit more of protagonism.
* Composition
Composition & Arrangement would be not as good as the other technical aspects in your track imo, it feels a bit too repetitive, adding an additional verse could have helped a lot to keep it interesting and going on, or also more fills and slight changes after every couple of bars. Still some good melodic motifs, but the overall arrangement is a bit too repetitive, as I said.

* Sound design
Very careful crated atmosphere at the start, that sounded very good.
Also the drum sounds are great (got variety, toms, nice fills...)
* Mixing
Something sounds a bit off with the drums and the bass, I can't really tell what, maybe adding a low frequency layer to the kick drum would make it have a bit more body, and having a bit more aggresive attack on the bass.
Otherwise it sounds great.
* Composition
No complaints here, it got me engaged overall, good work.

That was great, very creative sound selection,
* Mixing
Sounding thight overall, good work.
* Composition
Well, not much melodic elements, but this really shines on it's percussive side.
Maybe adding a bass would have been cool (not as a main melodic element, but as a guide to the percussion).

Tinnitus

* Sound design
Good sound design on the percussion, and all the sounds blended well together.
* Mixing
It presented dirty sounds in a clean way, good job. One little thing that bothered me though: the clicking sound/percussion in the intro, I suspect it was the "rect_-6dBFS_10samples.wav" sample, maybe a quick filter sweep on the noise sample could have sounded better imo. The sound reminded me of a bad connected speaker or something like that.
* Composition
It got me engaged, but I would have liked a breakdown at 2:08, maybe a quieter section to reintroduce the "melody" from the intro.

* Sound design
Good sound design.
* Mixing
A good sense of space, also a rich sound overall.
* Composition
The start was great, but then it ended a bit abruptly. I understand that it was still under constrution, would have liked to hear it properly finished.

* Sound design
It got a retro videogame vibe to it, probably as you used the samples right away without further processing (which isn't necessarily bad).
* Mixing
Very clean, for what it is.
* Composition
Very minimalistic in this aspect, but with enough variation to keep it interesting.

* Sound design
Interesting sounds, they sound ok but I would have liked to hear a bit more variation. also adding risers and other effects could help to make the chorus more impactfull.
* Mixing
No complaints here.
* Composition
I feel like the composition was a bit weak, maybe adding a bass or another arp on top could have made it better in terms of where the melody was going. On the other side, if you where aiming for a more simple lullaby-like piece you nailed it pretty much.

Satchboogie

* Sound design
Very creative intro, I like how you tried to tell a story with it.
Overall, good sound selection.
* Mixing
In some parts I feel like the kick drum and the bass are alternating, that helps to not have them clashing on the same frequency range, but the kick drum sound isn't as snappy as I would have liked, it sounds more like a sub bass. Layering the kick drum with a short noise transient could have helped a bit imo.
* Composition
Very good.
