Intro pads are cool, beautiful (if that's not too gay of a word), but I really like it.
Intro drums, really feeling 'em, especially the kick. The break that comes in is well put. Levels are good so far.
Vocal isn't clear enough imo
Drop: I know there's a sub in there somewhere, but it's not loud enough and not very 'obvious'. The amen sounds too soft, use some compression to bring the volume up and make it SNAPPY / punchy. The kick is horrible, at least layer a drum machine kick underneath the break.
Drum edits are okay, but too sloppy, try to slice 'em up more accurately.
Use sound effects and mid basses if you're not looking for an old school sound.
About the structure.. Is this a clip or the full lenght tune (just asking to make sure), because you really should try to use somehing that resembles the intro-breakdown-drop-breakdown-drop-outro formula!
Don't get me wrong, I liked it.. but the drop is far from perfect. How long have you been producing?

yeah im really liking the intro pads.
the intro beats are also very cool.
the build up before the drop is cool
then w0w... mega power dive.
the kick in the build sounds louder then the
main drum kit kick.
agree with everything tomassive said.
def has potential this one.

I have 4yrs of spinning under my belt, it kind of helps a little, and not to mention, I have spent alot of time of time on the computer in y 25 yrs of life. So its easier for me to pick up a program and learn it with the quickness. Besides Cubase, that shit might as well be in Chinese, I think I am gonna ditch even trying to use it. Acid Pro, SF8, and Ableton seem to be doing me justice.

Your intro pad is cool, sets a nice vibe up, but your intro is either way too long, or way too boring IMO. I think you either need to make it more interesting or shorten it.
Your intro beat and percussion loop is cool and sounds really good.
Then the drop.
It surprised me how that amen is so weak sounding, much weaker than your intro break, and the edits are not very interesting.
It's odd, cause your intro beat was very strong and crisp, but the amens sound kinda weak and muffled. you need to make those amens punch like that break in your intro did.
I think you have a good start here though, keep working on it.

I got side tracked with this new tune that I just felt the floe going. But I will get back to the Can I get an Amen! I am gonna change the Bass line completly when the Amen breaks in, and I am going to make the intro shorter. But thanks to everyone that checked it out and gave me their opinions.
RespecT!

ok so another more detailed review... the intro sets a great vibe... reminds me of dour when i was sitting on that hill watching the sun rise with my girl..so that's cool, like the "blub" sound between the beats...
would bring a long bass in there.. following the amens, get's a bit boring after a while.. needs more variation.. or more sounds dunno. ok here's the drop...WOW didn't see tha one coming.. it soundz kinda...empty 
donno..i think it would be more fitting if u followed the the stile of the intro.. with a long chill bass.. but that's my opinion and it's your song so you can say fu i ain't listening.. and that would be fine!
still love the intro.

I have totally redone the song. I have spent all day on it. I shortened the beginning changed the pad to another suttle one that still gives you the chills, and I mellowed out the bass alot. the is and intro, and breakdown, and another break, then the outro. I am learning this whole prodcuing thing pretty fast thanks to alot of you. I will repost the song under a different name. And, please listen to it, I would like to know what everyone thinks, and I hope your not sick of this tune.....yet
