Very basic.
Drums are quite hectic, i have the impression that all the extra rattle/shizzle/tsjakatsjaka-sounds mask the more essential parts, and there ARE essential parts with some nice rythmical changes.

Sub is deep and good. There's a point where it plays alone in the song. When the beats drop in again, that's exactly where i thought 'Ok, Hedset is soo right about the track not being finished yet..' Tongue The latter bass (reece-like) is quite dull.
Maybe you could make drastic changes by adding some subtle different layers like other pads, FX, short samples with delays on,...

p.s. the intro is THE place to play with sounds and to add atmosphere to your track

huh Big Grin suddenly a new tune during my posts?
lets grab this.

Luv the intro idea, half time beat, nice one
then suddenly that cut up break, which I like
maybe the backward drums on top of them sound a bit messy
good melody line when the tune drops but maybe give the melody line less low and a bit more mid.

oh, try to lower the reece like bass synth, or try to widen it up, it sounds a bit harsh over the drums.
maybe try a fuzz or distortion but be carefull, it sounds quite distorted now. not a bad thing, but it could use a sort of airbrush that thickens it.

twists and cuts in the drums are nice!!

I like it, can i play it out?

i think maybe you could've introduced the fast break a little better, gave it more of a 'tease' so that it's not such a harsh transition when it comes in...maybe add some percussion to the half-time beat that can help tie them together a bit...got some good sounds in here...the part when you bring in that reece, it might work out better if you were to copy the sub, throw a hi-pass filter on it, throw some distortion on it, so that the distorted reece won't feel so out of place and sudden, cuz it just sorta comes out of nowhere...with some more tweaking this can turn out to be a solid tune...

yow yow yow,

WWL.

sharp trebled hats int the beginning ( a bit too). messy drop. much interference of sounds at the same frequencies. EQ mate!!! stays a bit the same. you need some variation in a hectical beat like this.after the break things improve a little. But theres still to little fullness to talk about a song. Compression and EQ primary ad some sounds and basses secondary!!!

keep it up

cheers

Like the drums in the intro. Nice
Good switching to the amen too.
The melody here is a tad too loud though

Drop: maybe you should replace the sine bass with a more pumping bassline to give more drive?
The drums are good though, they do have drive and stuff. Maybe give a bit more body to them, they sound a bit thin.

Drop @ 3.36: rough bassline sounds a bit too digital: dirty it up a bit!
The track sounds a bit empty when it's not playing too, throw something in there to fill it up a bit.

Overall the track lacks sub and the drums sound a bit thin.

2.5/5
