That intro is cool, but I'd bring th bass in more gradually rather than just have it start right away.
I hate that synth that comes in at :10 and continues through the song; IMO it ruins th e song. Use a different sound. It could be just me I suppose
But I hate it.
You have some cool and interesting edits. Drums are wicked. Nice work on these.
I think this could be a great track, but I hate that synth so much it's hard for me to tell.
Everything else sounds really good though.

Nice intro, like the bell makes me feel on cemetery
Nice bassline nice drums, also dont like the synth, it dont bothers me, but is also doesnt give me a kick.
Song is well equalized, just that synth,
Totally love your drummin.

Jeah its your taste, but its normal that some people dont like it, many people are not reviewing, thats the problem you need 10 reviews at least to now whether your tune is good shit or not.
Keep doing things like youd o them.

man, ok. heres the thing about the synth...... the sound itself isnt bad, BUT i think the melody used by those synth stabs is what is 'bad'..... it doesnt bother me, but i think i see why others dont like it...
aaanyway, on to the review.,
ure goin from strength to strength man. i compare this tune to some of the tunes i heard when we first met, and see a major (of course) difference. i like this new bit,. but i think it could use some more low end, (or less highs) i DO like the breaks.. ( i mean the quick small silences,,,, not the drum breaks necessarily.) i DO however like ure edits,
dont have alot to say ,man, keep it up.

alright guys thanx. i guess sometimes in a sence i would be deaf to things of my own creation being that i make tunes strictly to my own taste thinking other people would be real into it. the synth "riff" "reece" whatever you wanna call it, is more like an element used in "hardcore" or "gabber". i thought it would be interesting in a breakcore type of track being that those kinds of riffs are choppy giving you kinda more of a spaztic but stable kind of sound. i dunno, thanx for the reviews though
maybe im showing these tunes to the wrong people...

Intro : Yeah someone mentioned the bass. take it out of the start.
Let the rest of these ideas bring it to climax. (making songs with a climax usually works so much better)
The hoover is so boring though IMO. Nice IDM chops in the Amen. This isn't mixed?
The bass is way too simple now im thining about it.
punch out your amens with a compressor and some bass boosting/EQ
perhaps even layer it with your own kick and snare. i usualyl find that that works well. metallic snares and punchy kick lines!
separate some of the stuff in terms of left and right to create more of a stereo field. alot of stuff is bang on in the middle as it stands.
OVerall this is a pretty repetitive track . where the bass stops toward the end is ok. Find some decent kick and percussion samples. where the beat goes a bit hardcorey . I wouldnt bother with that bit.
Try takin bits out.. simplifiy some of the mid range and higher elements and concentrate on bass variation. i mean it is Drum and bass. we dont like to hear too much synth and shit unless its spectacular..
overall 40% good (im being nice based on ideas) and 60 % bad (because of the mix and the bass being so repetative)

its got the baby at my house groovin... thats a good thing.
the synths and sound fx are pretty sweet... the bass is alright...
the structure is pretty cool... although i think u should do something
different in the intro so your not using that saw synth heaps...
the drums are alright, they could probably use some more layers.
pretty cool track
