this is pretty damn awesome, it just sounds badass. love the bassline and beat, especially how you tweaked it into insanity a few times, and the vox definately fit.
here are some suggestions for [possible] improvement:
MIX: try to bring the bass drum forward a bit in the mix and raise its higher frequencies, and bring the bass a little bit down [yeah, i know its cool with the sidechaining and stuff, but its a bit too overpowering ;)] yeah, the brass sample gets lost a little bit there. and the vox get lost a little bit throughout and are totally obscured in sections like :31 - :45, which isn't a good thing [though the oscillation there is very nice]. try bringing up the levels a bit, and maybe subtly compressing/sidechaining the whole track along the vox & bass drum. i think that might work. in fact, i should try that lol
INTRO/OUTRO - they are a bit abrupt--they sound more like they're in a mix cd lol. are they? hehehe
VOX: apart from the mix, some sections could be incorporated better with the music - for example, when the dude says "WHAT THE FUCK?!?!" and when the women come in, i want the music to react too :)
FLOW OF THE SONG: overall, sections flowed into each other incoherently. it feels almost too wandering and unorganized, but thats just a matter of personal preference
:D hope i helped out, and nice track overall. u get a 5 and a download ^^ and thanx for checking out my song, ill try to finish that hehe [maaan its so weird, in teh course of like 2 days the score went up by like .7 and ~15 votes and 4 reviews were added after it stagnated for a week haha this is awesome]

Author's Response:
Hey thanks for a good review. I am, However, the more i listen to this song, not fond of it. It was more of a sketch of what I could potentially do as a remix. I probably spen about 4 hours on it when i need to spend about three times as long perfecting it. The first flaw it has is a crappy acapella I downloaded. It was incomplete and sounded like shit. So thats the first thing I would do is find a quality vocal track. Also, Compositional elements need work like you said and also I need to compress more and all that crap.
Haha. I know its a mess and incomplete... I think it rocks and I am proud of my work but at the same time very critical on myself.
Somday I might pick this project up again. I have too many other things going on for me to do anything about it right now...
Thanks again for your feedback!!!
