Intro doesn't make much sense. The bass sound is TOO sawy and plain.
0:37 I'm beginning to doubt the quality of the composition.
The same repetitive dying line whole track.. Gets boring. No dynamics, this doesn't make you nod your
head or listen closely.
3:22 Didn't expect it. Seems kinda out of place.
A bit tired of the amen break already.
Don't dig the track. Sorry.

Likin the industrialish intro. I like the melody a lot. It just kind of felt like it just happened too soon needed to be built up more. I like when the amens come in. It's a little hard to hear the line that comes in at that part. The saw could use some phase but I didn't think it was that bad. Keep up the work if it had more of an intro it would feel more complete. I like it though
COOL LATER

I really enjoy the vibe of this track...It's dark, and it's kind of ol skool to me. This reminds me a lot of dnb when i first got involved. I was definately feelin it when you switched to the new bass line, but that part feels too short to me. I also would have liked to see you cut up your beats more, creating new stuff out of the old loops. Some of your transitions/new parts in earlier in the song, feel a little underdeveloped, and not really where they would have flowed.
Bottom line, I'd like to see you take this track to one extreme or another. Either smooth stuff out, and make it a little more dance floor ready, Or really start chopping and tweaking and making it really intellectual. Right now you''re sitting on the fence...and so am i.

Nice work, nothing wrong with the intro imo, but i think your bassline should have more variation and mayb a bit more raw if u want to make jungle sounds. About the production i have nothing to say, nice eq-ing and compressing i guess..
I think if u would make the bass more pumping after the first drop u could have a very good track.. 4/5 for production and 3/5 for the track

Hi classmate
This is the track that i used for my shortfilm btw.
but just a very short piece of the intro i guess...
Though the bad comments on your track, I did enjoy listening to it^_^
You did very well, but what can i say further, i'm not realy the one tot tell you why and how, cause i don't know sh*t about making this music.
See Ya x

MY GOD NOT THOES SAMPLES, I THOUGHT THEY DIED, hey you got rid of the wobble in them with the delay also, what i did.
i hate that pad, my god, i used it so much. always reminds me of that crappy track i did
lolz
the drums sound very muffled, dark.but since teh bassline is coming through also, there masked a bit, oh there the amen helps bring them out, good good.
okay, stop using that pad, it doesn't fit.
you like using unmodified amens eh, tsk tsk.
FINALLY A CHANGE! 3:30. still there's nothing that makes it really fantastic, the amens are mostly un changed in pattern, except a few ending patterns. even they repeat.
overall
dark and muddled lead bassline, it lacks any warmth to it, it's very computer synthy, try to get a warmfier or somthing.
you use the amen well enough, if unchanged.
i hate the pad sound beyond my own personal bias
its not a horrible song, but it's not great song.
i hate amen. just ingeneral. my own opnion is to avoid blatant use of it, it works. i dunno i got a mixed opnion. overall there's not a grat use of tension and release the seond drop , for a repative song like this, should have introduced a new insturment, it would help break up the horrrrible monotonoutiy. you changed the feel of the song at that 3:30 part, but thats where a new insturment would ahve been the BEST place to introduce. i take this from the example of squarepusher. he usually gives a new insitruemnt for the seocnd drop. helps so much. and since the durms are the samen, and the bassline is just going in a rhythem, it's almsot like you SHOULD have one, it would help you get a better ending than fading out the lead.
