cool spooky sounds at the start. have to say though, it goes on a fair bit with only one drum beat and not a lot of tune variation either, find it a little bit boring.
production quality sounds good to me tho, but i'm listening on shity speakers and my production quality is pretty poor so I'm not best qualfied.

creepy intro, nicely done.
Nice beat but the snare needs more power.
Strange use of little effects at the intro, it's all very eery.Intro is taking a long time.
beat needs more variation.Don't really like the bass alot.
The thing that comes in at 3min06 is nice.
The entire song sounds like an intro. 
I always feel like thing will start but then you add a sound but there's no build-up.
Lot's of nice ideas in this track tough.
3/5

no dude i can hear it all.
i dunno... sometimes there's a bass that is deeper, but thoes kicks are more like the bassline. The flanger bass, isn't even a bassline. the "sub" should be the level of the kicks and thoes deep kicks should be the level of the bass..
but the bass seems to change often. so meh the kicks give some constant to it. meh, it's all good.

Nice stuctures, lack of break imo.....intro is ok, drum maybe come a bit too quickly but well constructed..
I can hear your sub but halph is right about the frequencies, sub has to be put forward......
Some changes would be nice in the drum, the sound coming at 2.25 is really high, filters?
good flow

they key to thinking smart is to tihnk, what would a smarter person think?
maybe listen to your song and go WWSD (what would surya do?)
or just sequence randomly with no tension and release!
BUT ANYWAYS, ultradark how did you do the intro effects, i am quite interested in your tecnique, because you have effective atmosphere. i tihnk.

Intro is quite nice - some creepy sounds. Don't like the way drums kick in. Main kick cold use more lo freq. Imo snare is too thin and hardly hearable. You could try to layer some fat wet snare and filter it with high pass filter. A pack of ghost snares wouldn't hert really! 
Sub is too weak, if it presents - can't hear it 'cause listening at work with cheap soundsystem. Cool flange at 1:50 The whole sound is too digital to my taste - but this is your vision.
Structure is a little bit strange - you got the melody, but it only starts from the second part of a track
Really starting to like it from 3:00 Funky!!! I also hear some sub ckick from that time. Thats cool! from 3:00 to 4:00 is te best part.
this is kinda good base of a track, but could become rel funk shit!!
What software do you use?
Won't rate it for now... I'll wait for later version if you don't mind.

Indeed very cool intro sounds, but if you take the track in which your bass hits are on and pull the equalizer curve towards the lower mid a bit you will see a big improvement. The flange stuff is nice - how do you vary that so specifically - graphically in cubase/logic? The song structure seems a bit unclear with the off tune sound sounding, well off tune - more than it shoud be anyways. Tons of cool little sounds - perhaps too many sound variations and the tune lacks a phonic theme by about halfway onwards. Play with the big flanged hits, backwards sounds and go easy on the old breakdance toms and this tune could be more likeable - currently it is interesting to listen to but not condusive to any sort of social environment. Structure needs to be based around a song, not just a series of (albeit cleverly) constructed loops.

I hear the sub bass - just not the lower mids. Like this tune more on my second listen - those flange parts are heavy.

Intro is nice and spooky, maybe put in a ride cymbal?
Drums fading in: try to think of a more intresting way to bring them in maybe?
Basslines: the one has mid, the otherone has sub, so thats good, but when there is no sub, it sounds a bit flat.
Drums sound a bit thin too. Work on the snare: make it phatter. Layer. Same goes for the hats.
The more trancey stuff that comes in later on doen't really fit with the dark first part of the track.
Dunno, started out quite nice, but then it got a bit cheesy and you brought in more amateur-like sounds. Got unintresting.
1.75/5 for the track
2/5 for the sound
