Writing this in the glorious sunshine with a cold beer in hand. 
Pretty good overall. The kick is really driving the energy behind this tune. Sounds big and strong. Snare is good too. Sits nicely in the mix.
Something which is bothering me tho is the lack of clarity in the basslines. They are a bit muddy and definitely not loud enough. From what I can tell, the melodies are actually very good but I just can't hear them very well which is a bit frustrating. The beats are stamping all over them at the minute. Personally, I would keep the beats as heavy and as loud as they are currently, but I'd definitely turn up the basslines and get some clarity in there. Perhaps increase the mids, reduce the low frquencies slightly, and maybe layer them with a synth?
As I said, the beats are huge mate. They seem to get bigger as the tune progresses, which is a good thing. Really impressed with their heaviness.
I can see what you mean about this not being finished yet. The drops sound like they're missing something.
Good stuff so far. Keep working it.

Sounds like a really wicked, heavy tune man.
I think a little EQing could help with the muddiness and the clarity, give each element its own space in the frequency spectrum. I'm listening to this on headphones, so I'm not sure, but maybe the kick and the bass are interfering a little bit too? That could be affecting the bass a lot. The whole track is really heavy with low end, so I definitely think EQing would help a bit.
Nonetheless, it is a brutal roller. Get everything to sit right and it'll be a nasty tune.

i like some of the pads and the soundscape in general. quite a nice vibe too man. the bass sounds a little bit murky but that should be easily sorted so no biggie, as thomos said the kick is really drivin the tune but it does need to come out and be a little more defined. it could be that clashin with the sub a bit but im on shit cans so cant really tell 
, i also think with a bit of work on the arrangement the tune would benefit. the the tune in general is good though will look forward to hearin it done

Sick beat! Nice choice of sounds everything sits well and i can hear each individual drum. Nice groove man its got me nodding my head!
The bass sounds really muddy though, difficult to perceive what actually going on. Kind of over distorted I think. Try Splitting the signal, filtering off any low frequency and distorting the living fuck out of it. Then mix in back in behind the original, that way all the low frequency energy in the bass doesn't over load that sound.
Fuck that beat is sweet, love the fills 
It feels a little dominant though. You could try using a compressor or another envelope control tool to increase the transient impact of the drums, then bring down the overall level.
Structure is good, although some times it cuts out unexpectedly in the middle section. The breakdown sections could do with more work they feel like an afterthought. More builds and rolls please! Tension could be built better.
Dark and heavy, just how i like it! props.

track is pretty ok, mixdown is kinda loud and feels uncomfortable to my ears when the track is "at full speed".

nice intro, the pads sounds great, think the bass could be a little grittiers when it comes in, drums have loads of energy but sound a bit muddy, needs some eq work to clean em up, snare cuts through well but the kick is a bit muffled, bass sounds lost in the mix, needs more definition as it cant be heard too well against the drums....the arrangement seems a little random at times too, the different sections and breakdowns could flow a little better, this could be a really great track once you clean the bass up, the drums have an awesome rhythm to em and the track is energetic throughout, just that low end needs cleaning up....nice stuff tho!

This isn't a bad track, but I think the sound is a bit muffled. Need a bit of eqing. You rides could be a bit louder and the drums could do with fattening up over all. Big coming from me eh?!
I reckon, throw a few sound fx in and dirty the bass up a bit.
Not bad mate.
