Intro is quite nice, quite good buildup. Cool with them drumteasers.
Drop: Drums need a boost and reEQing to be phatter. Try getting them to roll a bit more too. Bassline sounds too digital and lacks body.
Switches are allright.
The atmos are a bit too much all over. Try to get rid of them in some parts.
Some nice stuff in there, but you really got to beef up that sound, it's lacking power.

Ok so here is the review 
The drums are ok but it need to bemore phat.
The baseline is somehow too "techno" but it`s ok.
Tuning is ok but it`s somehow monotone gets a little borring
I like the stereo switches.
Didnt like the outro somehow it cames from nowhere.
It just reduces thesound...
If i rate this from 1-5 i would give it 3.5

intro is cool..decent built up...but drums are thin...boost them...builds nicely...drop...that bass isnt anything special imo...not to my tatses atlest...has no warmth to it...drop that pad in the drop...its too loud and jsut obstructive...the drop would sound better ifit was nice and clean with the drop...track goes on....drop...same idea ast the first time...what ive been told is for the second drop to never make you feel like youre still in an intro and i got that feeling...which isnt a good thing...youre drops build nice, but the ACTUAL drop lacks power imo...
Overall-
Track: 2.5/5 Quite boring imo and doesnt really go anywhere...try adding more elements and some new bass...the one you have as been said above is too digital and has no warmth to it...also the drums become quite repetetive and nothing relaly to make your headmove...even though tis dark/techstep, its meant to get everyone on the dancefloor going crazy...
Sound: 3/5 sound wasnt horrible, but there are mixing flaws...the drums need to be boosted at 90-110hz about 2 db....also the track had almost no hiend except for when the amen samples came in which werent exact anything new...and the hi end on those needs to be boosted as well...
Advice...Change up some drums and use some new bass...some cool ideas but needs work...
Cheers

nice intro and buildup, dark atmospherics picture achieved. no beat around the bush - got into it right away.
but as the rest said, sound of drums is thin. I got these problems also, maybe drop out that overpitched sound that goes with kick and boost the low and high ends of drums
in the breaks kicks clash with snares and outloud eachother 
like you have overcompressed or used same distortion on both at the same time. dont fuck with this ,, messes things up pretty easy
entire track has got much more mid eq and this is good for repare sincew you now can add the missing eq bands
nice tune, love the atmosphere it creates but the problem with this track I see, you didnt exploit the idea to full extent and that is hard sometimes. yeah and it gets repetitive and boring cos of this
I see no real flaws in the bassline- works well
amen use fits well also
2.5/5 nice idea just it doesnt follow. eqing and resequencing it to sound more interesting could help.
peace

nice spacy feel to this 1. not really feelin the choice of sound for the bass, would love it to sound more heavy and menacing 
like the second drop although the drums dont seem to stand out enough tho. any use of amens makes me happy tho. safe
