This is right up my street, I'll comment as I listen:
Kick is perfect.
Like the syncopated hattish parts and the snare is nice and in yer face.
That bass, whoa - what can I say - very original and sounds awesome.
Like the way it came in in it's own mini break.
Anticipation is building nicely - decent subtle fades in of the other sounds.
Clean but plenty happening - such as that notchy sounding rolling type 'bass'.
Maybe a cool high passwed sweep up into the break start.
Like the vocal chop - adds that little bit of Human interest I like in a track.
Break I enjoyed, but when it all kicks back in after 'deep down' I would have liked just a kick and bass maybe with another dark staby sound - to 'shock' the audience a little as opposed to going into a full on 'chorus'.
Otherwise this is an outstanding track, seriously.

Might as well do same to see if I turn out differently.
Like, that intro was awesome, I was hoping it took longer, I was even hoping for some delerium-esque choral sounds but it was not meant to be, I'm not a fan of those extremely 'flat' kicks though, I like them louder. The clap for me is also a bit too flat.
That bassline together with that sound again has a good atmosphaere. After that it's put together nicely how the layers work in unison. And all, though at the moment-level it's well done. In the end at rhe structure-level it seems kind of meaningless how the song progresses. It's like I'm listening to deadmau5, yes, lot's of different parts, but no real meaning behind them, each could well be out of order. Also that beep sound might stand out a little too much.
After that, my feelings on it are sort of same. Yeah, it's nicely done safe for some element which I consider to stand out too much, but that's just taste probably, but in the end, the structure of the song is kind of meaningless and it sounds to me as if you really just put random pieces after each other when you made it without thinking too much ahead.
It just isn't really a song you have to listen wholly. While at the moment level it's nicely put together, at the structure level—which I do think is the most important—it is lacking and meaningless to me.

No worries, I have issues with the structure myself at the moment but I think Rich said it pretty well and that gave me a nudge into the right direction.
Although at the risk of playing devils advocate, it could also be that you are not hearing a structure that you are used to. That a side, I was never really happy with it but wasn't sure what to do with it.
Now I know.
Thanks for checking it out though.

Yeah sure, you know can never really know that. But then again you can apply it to every-thing.
But it seems that I was right here and you weren't really sure yourself on how the song should progress, right?
I usually have structures planned out in advance, of entire alba, even before melodies, so thankfully that has never really hit me. Or well, it had a couple of times and it's an annoying thing for me.

kuollutrunkkau5, I see your point.
Anyone else fancy a listen?
Oddly enough this has actually seen some label interest so will have to revisit the structure of this track but it seems to be ticking the boxes with some people out in the industry so must have done something right hehe.

TBH I don't get why this track hasn't had more attention on here as it's very good and original.
NEM, I've got to ask - what did you use for that basssssss
kuollutrunkkau5
Good tracks don't get attention all the time. It's a myth that if it's good it's automatically going to be huge. It takes a good dose of luck as well as suckup skills to go with it.

Brilliant work my friend (from listener perspective - this is the way I review tracks) - great structure, cool sound selection, really clean and with some serious dynamics in it - very impressive and I'm not surprise that some recording studios show some interest in this production - quality work, well done.
Cheers

Nem, this is a wonderful track, my favourite from you thus far(although im not sure how i feel about the mid midhigh synth coming in during the later part of the track. the bass and groove are very well done, ill have another listen to this for sure -- feel free to send me this once you've finished it :)
Nemesis44
Hey guys,
Thanks for listening. Always a pleasure to hear what you have to say.
MSZ, really getting into your mashup that you did. Had it playing at work today and it got me through a bit of a rough patch.
