I dig it dude. Overall great feel and vibes. I think it could use more development and buildup, though. Given what you have so far, maybe something dissonant and a little frantic on the high end and a second drumset to give it some power in the second half.
Don’t worry about the loudness war, just do what you think sounds best. Sometimes louder is better, sometimes not. It’ll vary from track to track. I’d focus on clarity and polish (EQ, EQ, EQ, stereo width, subtle saturation/exciters, subtle compression for glue). That’s the most important part of mastering.
Edit: I mean that as EQ is most important, not necessarily that you should/have to do a lot of it.
