Criticisms:

- Not a fan of the reese bass that comes in at 0:20 - I'm not really hearing any of the low end on it, so it doesn't have much weight to it.

- The Snare is just a little flat. It probably doesn't need much of a volume boost, but it could do with some sidecahaining* to give it some oomph, and some reverb because without it the snare sounds a little disconnected from the rest of the track.
*(Sidechaining means reducing the volume of other instruments playing for a second when the drums hit to make them punch through more and be heard more clearly)

- Maybe more of a personal thing - I think the voice samples in this track could be ok, but as it is now it feels like there's just a bit too many of them interrupting a bit too often and it disrupts the flow a little.

- The bass design is a little bit generic.

Positives:

+ Although the bass design is pretty generic, it is pretty competent as well. It sounds pretty good, and although there isn't much variety in basses, the few that are used are very versatile.

+ Aside from not really liking the way the reese in it sounds, this is a pretty good intro and buildup.

+ The mixing and mastering is pretty good overall. Tracks that constantly peak or tracks that are constantly utterly flat and have no punch to them are pretty common to see with unscouted dubstep tracks, since mastering is a real mess with dubstep, and something even I still struggle with a lot. Here though, aside from the issues with the snare I pointed out, and a little bit of general muddiness with the basses - This is pretty good. It doesn't peak an unpleasant amount, but still hits pretty hard. A track like this could easily have felt very empty, but these thick basses just absolutely fill the whole spectrum.

+ The switch at 0:53 is my favourite part. The call and response square pluck with reverb may not be a new idea, but damn does it sound good here.
