Does it sound that bad that nobody wants
to write a review or rate it? 
Comon people, if it is a complete crap tell me that.

On the first listen it appeared to me that some of the melodies are not completely in tune, sometimes it becomes a bit disharmonical. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but it's definitely strange. This idea has left me a bit on the following listens but that's a typical phenomenon, I knew that would happen 
I would have mixed it differently, I like all the elements but you could use a more defined 'lead' sound, it's kinda muddy and bland with no elements having an edge over others.
I think it's the first time I have to say this for a track here, but everything blends in too much, there's really nothing jumping out, so maybe you mixed it too well
You should make your leads scream!! Just mix it off a bit more aggressively, everything except the drums just seems to be rolled off in the high end.
Nice use of reverb and effects, balance is good too. Stereo image could be better, most things are dead center, except for one of the basses (faded in around 1:30), which is out of phase!! This is a bad idea, you can't press out of phase audio on vinyl!!
In buildup the song seems to last forever, a more classic structure wouldn't be bad with clearly defined parts with leadins and the whole lot. It's not boring but it just keeps to change gradually like a smooth flowing autumn river. IMO in dnb you should make people jump not swim

Like the wobly bass in the intro.
Drums are nice and original.
The short vocal works fine.
Tention building up, with more layers of percussion and more synths: nice.
Trancey sounds: do the trick.
Long intro indeed, but with enough stuff going on to keep intrest imo (as you might know, I have some pretty long intro's myself
)
Drop is nice. Bass is warm and deep, drums are not very intence but nice.
Yup, dissonant indeed. But if this is what you were going for: that's OK, it's not in such a way that it's ugly.
Like it, would be nice to play between some real dancefloor smashers, to let the people cool down a bit without really breaking the atmosphere.
And, yeah T.roll, I always rate
3.25/5

(Bad english. sorry)

It means that it sounds 'wide' - an effect which you get by using eg a phaser, chorus or flanger, or by putting one side of a stereo sound 'out of phase' -> this is turning the waveform 'upside down' so that positive waves become negative and negative waves become positive. If your bass is out of phase you can never make a vinyl out of it, because the needle would have to move in two opposite directions at the same time.
General rule: kicks and bass mono in the centre!!

Indeed it needs more agressiveness. I'll think about how can i improove it. Mayby make the main lead more sharp?

Try to boost the EQ in the 2-3kHz range, that gives some bite and aggressiveness to the sound.
