lol 
Job done.
Love the amen breaks. People don't tend to use amen breaks as much these days, so listening to this gives me a slightly old school feel. Which I love.
The sub sounds a bit boomy to me. It makes the low frequencies sound a bit messy and undefined. It actually appears to be causing the other sounds to duck? Or perhaps I'm wrong - it could be an 'illusion' of the way our ears work. Whatever it is, you need to reduce some of the really deep frequencies and take off some of the stereo panning too, imo.
Melodies sound a bit random to me. There doesn't appear to be one vibe holding this whole thing together. I think you need to develop a theme and stick to it.
Overall, not bad. Love the amens but the mix needs a bit of work and so do the melodies. Just my opinion of course.

Structure is weird.
Bass sounds a bit off compared to the vox-pads.
Making progress, work that shit.

the drums in the very beginning (first 4 seconds)sound too dry and obvious. perhaps some filters or reverb to not make them so up front in the mix.

hmm not sure what to make of the drums in the intro i think you should have either made the intro longer and let them play out or taken them out alltogether. when it drops i do like the bass melody but the bass doesnt sound that full and i like the work youve done to the amens and it sounds good. the kick sounds really nice to me
some of the fx sound very old school which i love. you need some more elements in there though i think because it seems like a very long 5 mins 
highlight is the drums imo

hehe whats about the drummage at the start
holy crap that kick is too big man, I imagine a drum kit where the kick drum is 3 meters big while the snare and hihats are of miniature size. and ofcourse the inevitable amen is here, you do play around with it but nothing new or otherwise spectacular
strange structure, Im not sure where is the main part of the tune
bass was there in the first part then gets lost later on, I can hear a distant drone though so work more on those levels, for fucks sake turn that kick down and cut up some space for the bass because it swallows everything else. if this would be played in a club only thing that would be heard is the kick
sorry for the long rant
I do like the synth lick bits and the hectic beats
work it
