very ambient, one of the kind of looped sounds dont go right, volume of it is cut too much at the end of it imo, maybe that was the intention..
0:43, drums are welcomed although not that good imo.
lackin punch and theres a ghost hit in there i dont like
luv the percussion that comes in mate, now its flowin a bit more...
drop:
like the melody thought after a few bars the beatz would come alive but they remain the same and arent near loud enough..
the vocal is good, like those kinda vox..
need to put a bit more reverb on the bassline
and i would add some more melodies to compliment the bassline.
if the samples were eqed right and maybe a different choice of samples then this would be phat!!!
jus cant get away from those weak drums man
cheers

intro is lovely. Drums are allright, percussion is cool. I would've considered letting the percussion start and then let the rest of the drums come in later.
Bass is awesome, hehe, drugsnbass. This is pure evil. Bass could've been a tad lower in the mix.
I see the video to this in my head. Some guy hiding in the park with a syringe filled with LSD in liquid form. Ambushing people, injecting it in their necks and pushing them down stairs.
Nice variation throughout.
This is fucked up, I love it.

Thanks for the reviews! "If injecting people with LSD and pushing them down stairs will get us a few more reviews we can handle that!" Z

first listen:
sweet ambiant/fx loop. sounds like raw 808 drum shots. might want to tweak the drums a little bit. that eerie pitch in the breakdown is a nice touch. i like the bass change up at the 3:22 mark. ah more of those intro fx. good call. just when the bass starting wearing on me, you dropped it down a notch at the 5:20 mark. might be good to lower it earlier. i will see how i feel on the second run through.
second take:
i like the drum shots during the ambient intro. be cool if you echoed them out. give the track more of a feel. ok, maybe it is just the cymbals that are 808. there is a nice percussion feel behind the main drum beat here in the intro leading up to the "high grade" vox. it rolls through the drop, but doesnt change up at all. there are some good shots in it. you could mix and match it to create more of a feel. still, the 16 ct loop is fun, and its EQ'd on a level with the hats, so i guess all is good.
id recommend playing with the bassline more. you introduce different bass notes at transition points, a'la a fill, but the octave is the same for long stretches of time. maybe even make subtle changes to the bass stabs themselves, like reverb, warbles, wobbles.
overall, its a solid track. more idb than dnb. i like your ambiance and backbeats. that is a good strong suit to have. hope this helps.
peace.

ambience in the intro is cool, and im liking the sound fx 
the beats are alright... i reckon you could layer some phatter samples behind or infront of them, what eva. the vocal sample is heaps cool.
personally i dont like the bass that much... i think you could do some cool stuff to it, like LFO or something. and you could probably have a bass change up... to a stompin distorted sub bass or something.
im liking the ideas n the theme...
keep em coming guys.

Thanks for the reviews, please don't be shy, rudness is no problem when it applies to coming correct. The samples we made, the FAKE snorting and cutting is all us and that vocal was found by mistake, there was another part to it that was cut out that twists everything around.... You gotta love propganda! If anyone wants the samples to stab a mix that would be great! Z

heavy distortion at intro sounds cool 
, strange intro tho lol.
drums are a bit thin (make the tails longer of all one shots) + some layering should do fine.
Dont like that reece (vst thing ? i hate vsts) , bassmelody is nice and those vocals are sick

the intro dosnt hook me which means the listener is unlikely to hear the rest of the song.
drum pattern is pretty cool but the bass drowns everything out a bit and the perc gets a bit anoying.
try and make two sections, the same bass line gets a bit annoying after a while.
overall its ok but needs work.

Thanks for reviewing a tune we did almost 2 years ago.
