Good song

Very minimalistic song. Not much going on here, some nice bass line and a few melodies in the background. But the end result (= the song) sounds pretty cool. I like the bass line very much and the higher pitched melodies create a good contrast to the deep bass.

The voice sample at 1:22 came a bit unexpected, but I like how you used the sample later on in the song as well. It makes the song a bit less repetitive.

Minimalistic-esque

Pretty impressive and definitely an original track. A tad repetitive, though, which ruins it a bit for me.

The issue a lot of people probably will have with this track is that it's one of the more minimalistic dubstep tracks, with a simple drop and laidback wubs. Laidback and slowed down dubstep is, IMO, the best kind of dubstep. instead of getting that intense and "dirty" track, you'll get something that is easier on the ear. You can see from the score of this track that people don't like it when people make dubstep that isn't "FUCKING DIRTY MANG".

It's original in that it's something you wont hear too often. The mastering is pretty well done as well, production quality seems pretty solid and almost at a professional level, though the drop could've had some changes done to it, the bassline at least.

Samples are pretty good, and I feel they fit well with the feel of the track. Outro is a bit simple and dull, though, and the track does get quite repetitive, which is pretty annoying, considering the fact that the track is so short.

Ah the score got 0 bombed. which looks horrible. Thank you!

Chill :)

Loved the subtle piano tones and background ambiance during the build-up, very cool :P The drum kits you chose here also complemented the build very well.
To top it all off, the mastering on this track is pretty clean as well!

Some things here however, I would most definitely change...
The bass samples used here sound a little muddy (or flattened out)
Try layering a few bass samples together and see what you get?
Also!
When mastering your Dubstep tracks; watch your low frequencies you want lots of bass which is good, but you need that bass to be crisp as well!

Great Work!

Thank you, Yeah i know this song could use a boost in those low freqs

Smooth

Well I found this to be a peaceful work of art anyways right up to where it changes over to dubstep as well. Kind of makes you think of yesteryear and thinks being nice and as soon as the dub blasts in it kind of makes you wonder if you enjoy your life or not now. Most hopefully do though.

The guitar and bass work together to create a great piece of art as they give a blast of visuals in your mind though. The drums were also very calming as well I think. The synth seems to blast a dark wave at you kind of making you feel a bit strange though so that works.

The voice is cool but who is that? The dub sounds are rather calming and lead back to the intro of the song with little to no notice that the dub sounds have stopped which is cool.

Overall, interestingly calm piece of work.

man that was deep.
Thanks alot!

Black coffee eh?

I don't drink coffee...

This is very out of the ordinary in comparison to the dubstep I typically come across, its relatively more calm. Its interesting to me how you've managed to use the idea of coffee as a basis for a song, its very creative and yes - probably very original. You got a nice musical flow going here. My only problem is repetitiveness in the first half. I was expecting some more interesting pattern variety as I listened to it. Still though, you've done an awesome job with the sound choice and usage. Its a nice piece overall.
