Wow, where do ya start with this one?
Firstly, I think there's too many different styles in this one track and it's pretty disjointed atm. During the intro I was really diggin the chorusy-distorted guitar/piano melody and thought it was gonna turn into a bangin rock 'n' bass tune.
Then the bassline slowly emerges and it's still on the rock 'n' bass tip but it's sort of doing its own thing. It's not really interacting with the guitar melody and sounds like it is in a different scale. Maybe something you wrote for a different tune?
The second lot of beats starting at 1.50 are huge and wicked, but again, it totally changes the vibe again. Now it sounds like a Noisia tune! A good one tho!
I don't really think that "Smoke the best bud" vocal sample does anything for the tune tbh.
During the middle the tune sounds like it doesn't know what to do. Again, the bassline and guitar/piano are not really on the same tune, if ya know what I mean.
Bassline starting around 3.38 is pretty good but I didn't like the high-note shizzle with that.
Overall, deffo some good stuff and some stuff that needs work. I really love the beats and especially the piano/guitar melody. I think that has a real vibe about it and if this was my tune, I'd concentrate on developing that side of it.

i like the track, the short stop of ranomd string sounds, except you use the same variation twice, copy and paste. if you changed anything or added to it slightly people would notice. and it would still have a simular feel, evne if it was just added on a tiuny bit, just to give a feel of progression..
at the 2:20 part the kicka nd snare are huge specially the kick, but the hihats seem so distant, a slight volume boost would balance it out more.
at the 4:00 it seems still more interesting then the starting part, there's some nice detunedness going on.
and to be honest every song gets boring at the end it's the "rinse" stage. try to make the start the most interesting to get people to enjoy the song
a good way to get the distortion down a step and for it to still sound dirty, is to either have a mix of distortion and dry piano of the exact same going. basicly a mixture of 50/50 of wet and dry distortion, like you have the distortion effect just hinted on, it sounds good. if you use Fruity Loops there's a nob on the effect on the right hand side that will do this. reason you can just split the sound before the distortion and have one gong to mixer the otehr to the effect.....

Thanks guys this tune is really draining me trying to figure it out, im trying to rework it, but im having some issues with wanting to make it something its not and thats where the problem lies I think... so i'm just gonna simplify and make it simple
thanks for the feed back on this it was for a comp. but im just gonna sit this one out and wait for the next one when I have longer than 10 days to submit
peace

I am liking this one a lot. The first and last minutes are really strong, with a novel transition!!!! I like the piano distortion, too. I'm not a big fan of of the intense dissonant segments in DnB but I can sure live with this one (at about 2/3rd through). I really like the quiet outro segment at 5:20, right before the end. I'd buy it!
