Sounds pretty phat to me.. Have to agree the overall composition is a bit messy, but the sound is really nice

I'm loving your sounds :) the chip tune melodies are cool :)
I think you probably need a more formal intro, something to ease the listener into the mix.
That aside I actually like this alot, though I would have liked to hear more sub noises :p

This is freaking sick. With some proper mixing and mastering it'd make a huge banger! I think you can get away with the messy drop, but I have one crtique: I love your snare, but I think it (and the rest of your drums) are sounding a bit too dry. Add some reverb to put some nice tail on the snare. Maybe add some distortion to it.. that would contribute to the "f*cking heavy" vibe. But it could definitely use some 'verb. Other than that, amazing work!

Really punchy drums, nice work there! Maybe they could do with brightening either with another layer on the snare or a high shelf EQ.

That's quite a messy intro, the portamento-heavy lead sounds kinda distracting to me, I'd change it for something else.

The bass has a lot of power, but lacks a bit of presence at times. It occasionally has top end but I think it would benefit from a more definite top end layer.

I liked the idea of it, man! The intro was a bit too much for me, though. It sounds kind of random to me, and I think you should change that a bit, man! I like a lot of the bass sounds in the drop, but some of them don't fit right together, if you know what I mean. I think the scale could be more minor, or something, just to give it a darker feel, I think that would be pretty cool!
I'm not really into much dubstep anymore, but I think that if you keep at it, I could hear some great things from you! :D

Big fan of the background synth and the lead growly synth! You gave the background synth a nice melody also!

the beginning of the song could use some bass underneath the lead instrument :)
remember that you can use other sounds than cymbals to be used as a drum instrument ! the ringing of the cymbal got in the way of the dubstep, sharp highhat hits are crucial in dubstep.
i herd a acoustic drum sample, i find that synth drum hits are alot harder hitting, not saying that its bad to use an acoustic sample, but think about it..
..acoustic for when its soft, and a nice fat synth kick for the drop :)
id be sick!
try it out

there is a bass sound that sounds like pitch lips vibrating ( i dont know how else to describe it) try to give it some higher frequencies so it isnt so muffled. try a comb filter
Yo momma's so fat people think the sound of her fat rippling is dubstep.

Im commenting while listening.
Cool reverse.
The nintendoish synths are cool!
The snare and kick sounds too much alike.
The snare has great potential, but it lacks some highs.
That growly bass section is cool! good section here.
I like the way you build around the neurois sounds.
I like the variation in the drums, it makes good sense, but they are probably too dominant in the mix, they take up a lot of space, and thats a shame, cause your synth work is killer.
Those windy long attack sounds are great in terms of moving between breaks.
good outtro. good that you keep a red line in this.

so.. Overall. Good track, but the drums stand too much out
Try evening things out a bit. it would do wonders to this one.
Keep it up! :)
