Okay, listening at the moment.
First thoughts are that the chord progressions in the intro are a little random and have little or nothing to do with the lead that comes in at about 0.33. The drop is very minimal, with next to no ambience, but it's a really good drop that reminds me of early Pendulum. One qualm is that the main bass sound that is used can get pretty tiresome quickly, and perhaps a way to improve the tune would be to introduce some more ambience in the intro or maybe some other, new sounds to make the tune sound "wetter" if you get me, because at the moment it sounds very restricted and "dry". Don't get me wrong, it's still pretty good though and as I said, is very early Pendulum-esque.

Have to agree with Switchbalde here mate. Some of the chord progressions and melodies are pretty random, especially the intro. The saw bass sound is good but it's panning too much. The melody gets repetitive too. The whole thing definitely needs more organisation and structure. Beats are pretty cool. Big fat snare and kick. Good ghost and hi hat work too.

Like the metallic drum intro. I think your synths are to loud. Hold on, your drop is real loud compared to your intro.
Those drums you have are wicked mate. Remind me of Bad Company. Anyway, I think you should shift the snare position every now and then to make your drum a bit more interesting.
2.30 - your drums in the bridge are to quiet
As I said earlier, really like the drums, but the synth is starting to get a bit annoying.
Over, not bad track though. 
Personally I would create another track with out the synths.

in my opinion this track is too hectic. id use longer notes. add some dirty bassline. and a punchier bassline.
ok track.

this tune is SICK! ;-) i would work a little on its lead sound melody and structure, but soudnwise its very GRITTY. youcould work a little on subbass which could be a little louder. i also would work on the drums. the ones you are currently using are way to nice in my opinion. as your sound is EVIL you use some EVIL snares. you actual ones are kinda like "tschak" but some darker ones would add more punch as you have so many HIGH sounds in your track. or get lost of the high frequencies of the snare.
