Having the same melody for the intro and climax
I don't fully agree here. The intro part only has small portions of that main melody. So it's like a tease... showing a bit of what is to come.
And then during the breakdown, the full melody is reveiled.
As a whole, I feel like this melody is at least slightly different than the typical plucks we hear in all the Aly & Fila tracks. I expected way worse after first reading your comments. For me, this is not a bad track. Sure, the beatwork and percussions are without any identity. Soulless. At least the kick isn't overly loud. And I do like the melody. And notice how the track features those soft snares, there are no LOUD snares.
To quote Hensmon, in a clubnight, this would probably be pretty great!
I like it more than let's say Armin & Rank 1 - The Greater Light To Rule The Night (which I thought was OK too)
Edit: Full version is 9:50. It has a very long calm intro with pads and piano's etc.
