Help me understand please!

This is one of 3 returns from Listing D231220CP
I wrote the head-screener that I was struggling to understand the reasons and after his comments, I do accept it but have to say that it still left me with a sour taste since IMO the listing doesn't suggest clearly what then was critiqued by the screener. Maybe I'm not seeing something so I'd be more than curious about what you guys think of the screener's comments!
HERE IS THE TRACK: https://www.taxi.com/members/jFlSTGTDRQ ... -hot-metal
HERE IS THE LISTING
HARD-HITTING, STOMP-CLAP ROCK INSTRUMENTALS are needed by a great Publisher with an awesome track record of really big placements in TV Commercials!
This Publisher is on the lookout for Mid-to-Up-Tempo Instrumentals that could be found on a playlist with the examples below:
"Invincible" by The Phantoms
"Glory Days" by The Federal Empire
"The Drum" by The Seige
Although the references have vocals, please submit Instrumentals only for this pitch. Some non-lyrical vocals like "ahs," "woahs," etc., are okay to include – just don't overdo them!
Please send in top-tier Stomp-Clap Rock Instrumentals bursting with hard-hitting, epic energy all the way through! Your submissions should have unforgettable hooks, engaging stomp-clap-style rhythms, and dynamic arrangements with lots of forward motion and interest. Instrumentation that's in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the references will work best (think heavy, rockin' guitars, hard-hitting drums, bass, etc.). Please be sure your production is polished, and any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality and not dated-sounding.
Submissions should be about 2 minutes long, give or take. Non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings will work best for this pitch.
HERE IS THE CRITIQUE
: What I like most about this song
Great energy
I think you could improve this song by
The intro was long, and felt a bit disconnected from when the actual beat drops. This cue feels very busy, and does not have the time to breath. It is non stop and over produced in nature. The ending should also decay our naturally, as it feels like it was faded. Overall a better developmental arc to allow time to be open works best for edits and visual media, oppose to being too busy throughout.
I returned or forwarded this song because
The cue is well performed, however it is over produced and stay busy throughout. There are no moments to develop, as it is consistently non stop in production/voicings. It could also use a more decayed resolve, or a solid one at that.
