Cool flowting synth sample u used in the beginning ... the ticking trancesample fits with the synth ...
Let the base kick ... cool launchsample ... Following part gives you exactly what the voicesamples says 
After a while the destoertion sound workes a bit on the nerves ... the brakes comes a litlle late, cool loungebeat you got there with the emopart 
5 4 3 2 1 ... another cool launcsample, you really where lauched that day weren't ya ?
As I said a very chill brake-core styled song, love it accept the destortioned sample ...
Again a strange outro .. u chould have used the synth and the destortionpart as an outro together with the loungebeat u used earlier ...
My opinion 7.5/10 Nice

this is better than some - sounds are all in proportion - but i just dont like the choice of sounds, and the beat is under complex. morevoer, maybe a bit more of an intro would help.
0:55 drop is nice, and the beat and idea nice enough (though i have to say im finding the techy stuff produced on this site all a bit samey nowadays). however id recommend putting some more sub in to work with, though not just mimicking, the main line.
some of the switches and messes arounds in the beat loop probably are nice ideas but arent working in ppratice, just need to touch them up.
at 2:06 its a nice change but why not just pile a load of pads and melodies in there to make it sound more interesting and proffesional, at the moment its a bit sparse and boring. the half time beat that comes in 2:28 is not really working - again the idea is right, but you can hear that its not got the right flow to it. you need to use more snares, syncopate it more, have some of them a bit off the beat so that its got more too it reallly.
I do like what comes in next, but theres not a lot of development on the original thing, and that same haunting sounding pad over the top is becoming a bit too noticeable by its endless progression.
sorry if this is a bit on the critical side, but it all being said, i do like the ideas here, chiefly i enjoyed the main distorted lead. but it needs a bit more of everything, chiefly variation.
cheers for the listen

i like your intro, the synth is little nerve wracking... i think the drum work is aight nothing impressive...
that fuzz in the backround is realy hurting the brain friend, i would think about using that again or if you do tone it back a bit..
the snare on your breaks sounds a bit weak...
and the choice of you breakdown placement was a bit premature IMO

lead is nice. drums are pretty fresh, altho snare needs to be a lil more punctual. the vocal thats like on hi pass in the background is cool.
everything sounds kinda crowded during the main beat parts...you do compress dont u? and try to cut a frequency on a sound when you dont need it to give everything more room.
the part around 2:05, 6 is kinda empty. put in some nice sweeping fx, or make the melody more complex (add on another couple lead sounds).
the sound quality of your drumbeats still isnt quite at the tip top level but you're definitely gettin better. you got a lot of good ideas.
also this song is terribly repetitive i think, altho housing good ideas...
6/10

I dunno what everyone has against those drums, they sound full and mildly complex; def gives the track power and energy, but doesn't demand that you be insane to listen.
The floating synth in the beginning could be changed, at very least a little quieter. Your breakdown seems really sudden, and when that string synth or whatever it is comes back at 2:06, I think it sounds much better than it did at the beginning. But it does get old.
Love it when the main body of the song comes back in, guess Im not tired of tech'd out lead yet.
Oh yeah, and theres no outro. ^^
8/10

the intro synthy thing is alright, not really my cuppa tea, personal preference.
drums n bass are nice...
and the overall mellowd of the track is nice.
some levels or eq or somethign need work, so everything sits nicely in the mix if u know what im sayin.
cool stuff.
keep it up bruz
7/10

Nice bright and crisp intro, sounds tight like an electro track. Bass when it drops is heavy but too much sizzle to it - turn down the hi end and boost the low mid's a bit. The drum variations are really cool but the sounds could use a slight tweak. Also at the drop I think the atmos should drop out completely and then come back in 8 bars later - rather than the opposite. Nice heavy track with clean production, good sub (bd interfering with it a bit though) - needs more sound changeups since those sweeps are going pretty much throughout. 7/10

the synth at the beginning sounds very familiar, its very good, but i would like to see it drop down an octave or change on the last bar before the drop. Please follow me here,
if it goes 3333444433335555 make it go 3333444433335522
where 1 is a low note and 9 is a high note, i hope you can understand this. 
mess around with it.
Bassline is great, sub is too. drums, mmm, good in places, maybe its the instruments that let it down a bit, the snare is a . I like the rolling kick. the hardcore stuff that comes in every other bar works well. the hi hats are sound as a pound.
didnt like the kick and snare at 2min break. the melody gets a bit reptitive after that drop.
9/10 (melody could be tweaked)
