I've been checking out alot of this dubstep stuff. And I dont see what any of it has to do with harmonicas?

I... harmonica? Not sure if troll.. lol Ok, Harmonicas are actually an incredibly important component of dubstep. See dubstep has it's roots in the redneck hills and the "wobbles" were produced by using a harmonica and cupping your hand around it as a sort of "filter" over time like everything else it got digitized and the wobbles became lower and lower. Just like banjo was a primary rhythm instrument of jazz and was usurped by the guitar.
Although I'm not particularly a dubstep fan, I found this track very enjoyable. The way you switch back and forth between the dub style and the trance-like bits is well done. The bits where the switch is quickest (one such section starts around 2:50 after a moment of just guitar) are, in my personal opinion, the best sections of the song.
The mastering is done well, and nothing is too overpowering. I would've like for the guitar the be a bit louder, and perhaps glitched a bit (which is easily done through programs like Image-Line's Gross Beat). However, that is again a personal preference.
I liked your choice of synths, and the higher ones in particular. The bass felt... Stereotypical, though. Cliched, even. It's the same bass I hear in almost ever dubstep song. Perhaps a different waveform is in order (has anyone tried making a dubstep bass out of an organ)? Although that didn't detract from my overall enjoyment of the piece.
Your choice of chord progression was nice, and added a bit of umph, if you will, to the flow of the piece.
The buildup, while short, was well suited to the song. As was the ending/outro.
All in all, a well put together song. 5 of 5 and 4.5 of 5. Looking forward to more.
