I think the beginning adds a very nice atmosphere. The drop is a little weird, but strangely good.
By the way, I will give these a picture, but last EP I took the pictures from the youtube videos. I haven't made them yet so you'll have to wait a bit...

Yeah, I'm pretty sure like 99% of dubstep producers use Serum and Massive, but I have no money. That means I need to get creative with Harmour, Sytrus, and GMS... =P
First minute is just boredom. One thing repeating over and over again isn't that good. But what comes next is just awesome. It's enough harmonic, has good mixed sound effects, nothing wrong with the rhythm. I can't judge the melody part because it's a drop. But the drop itself really gets repetitive. From 02:30, the intermedia or what, has not that quality soundbank.
Second drop doesn't rip off the first drop, that's a plus. Aaand also I would say it needs more bass, because there is a bit of too many high notes.
At the ending of the second drop rhythm and melody are starting to convert into a mess together.
04:38 and later — sounds a bit painful with this 8-bit loud soundpack.
Huh... This is a really strange review... Well thanks! I just say this is strange because you seem to be pretty good at spotting mistakes, but some you point out I don't understand...
You said the "first minute " is "One thing repeating over and over again". Now I do agree in hindsight that the intro is a little dull, but because you specified "minute" and the song drops 1 minute in (and you're consistent with times in your review), and the intro is far more detailed than that. There's the main synth which fades in on the 1st 8 bars, the arp and drums that fade in on the 2nd set of 8, the bass that comes in at the 3rd, and the glitch effect and kick uplifter at the 4th. I don't know if this comes off as nitpicky, or if you were just using hyperbole, but it sounded like you were being serious...
Then you mentioned the drop is repetitive. When I first read that I was preparing to prove you wrong, but looking back I see exactly what you mean. Y'see, every time I repeat part of a drop I change the modulation of my synths, so they're the same sounds with different "movements" to put it in simple terms. This is usually enough, but here when I looked back, while I could notice the differences clearly I realised that I only noticed them because I already knew they were there. The changes are more subtle than I thought, and so they don't really pop out to anyone who doesn't already know they're there. So I'd say that's a pretty good point...
Then there's the main bit that confused me: "From 2:30, the intermedia or what, has not that quality soundback". What? What do you mean? What's a Soundback?
Then you say the second drop has too many high notes, but that confuses me... The notes of the second drop are the same except for the added bits with the Megadrive soundfont (The "8-bit" sound), and even that has another bass using a different sound from the soundfont under it. Also I'm not sure what you mean by "Melody and rhythm are starting to convert into a mess together".
Finally 4:38. It sounds fine to me, but you're probably right. High frequencies don't bother me much, and I don't pick up on when they might be annoying to some people very easily...
