1:17 - lovin it, then when it kicks in a few seconds later its classic.
That little melody from 2:00 - 2:05 I like, I think you could bring it in some more and develop it a bit.
In saying that, I think there might be a little(just a touch) too much portamento on that synth.
It works on that section I mentioned but elsewhere I think it could be toned down a little.
I'm liking the beats.
Deceptively heavy sounding track, wasn't expecting it to get like that during the intro. Nice!

There's some really good elements in here (heaviness of the beats, the main synth melody, the EQing and textures) but the way you've put it together often sounds random and confusing. The structure is really difficult to work out because you start building up melodies, then drop down, then you throw in a random synth line, then comes a off beat fill... it needs more flow and logic. It could be a much better tune imo. I notice your other tunes don't follow a conventional structure either, so maybe that's just your style. Lots of good elements here but as a track this isn't working for me yet.

i think this could be heavy, not very sharp at the min tho, the drums dont stand out enough and i think that your synth is panned to wide. drum patterns are good but i cant seem to hear them loud enough.
oh must point out i only listen in headphones btw. might be why the synth stood out so much

man nice intro i like the melodies, although think u could fill it up a bit more with fx
beat is pumpin nice n crisp, like the edits, cool variations!
sounds like some mad experimental shizzle, i like it
my only other suggestion would be to get some more sustained sub in sections just to really feel the heaviness
The track has a messy feel about it, the drums seem to be a little erratic. Some of the fills are cool but others seem a bit random and dont exactly compliment the track. There are some cool synths in there aswell but at times the layering of the synths seems over done. It kinda seems like your going for that techy feel in this track and i rekon that would be a pretty challenging thing to get right. To get something like that right a little more care would need to be taken. I think that if the track was stripped back a little and structured a bit better it would have potential.
cheers for the ears peeps. some more glueing deffinitely must happen but introducing different (more standard?) structure is unlikely to happen and the drum rolls that seem random are to stay
once again thanks for the honest takes which makes this site the best and different from the others
more craziness and mental f***ed up shizzle for the 2nd drop
I've recently got into the habit of getting my frist drop as sick as i can, then try outdo myself on the 2nd and go all out
Your track just starts like that, you can introlize it!
Also feel like your drums are like a bad quality mp3 placed in your song. They sound like they are pushed together... too crispy.. you might want to put some reverb over your snare and your hihats. Also some percussion will make it more lively. Open it up!!! Even if its your intro part it can still have some energy...
Later at 1:30 your track really gets heavy but im missing the oommppfff.. Its all too random.. you might wanna take the song a bit simpler because thats where the magic is.. you cant keep your tracks too random.. even if the music is heavy... unless this is what your going for then you have done a good job
overall you have good elementes just kinda bring them together in a bit more structure... dont be scared of making your song 'too simple'..
drums sound a tad tinny tbh, pads sound nice tho, good arrangment too, some awesome drums variations throuhout, real energy to em, think a different sounding snare would work better, something with a less metallic sound.....think the track needs too many synths going on in places and the low end doesn't seem consistent enough to my ears....drums stand out to me as the best element, lots of variation and energy....not a bad track overall, well put together.....good stuff.
