Thanks. BTW, I think some people haven't figured out how to use the new review system: "Review Score: 0 / 10" =(

Pretty nice, pretty nice.
As a rule of thumb, proper Drum & Bass structure is Intro: 64, Main: 64, Break: 32, Main: 64, Outro: 32. Just an FYI, but structure can be changed around, just as long as the bars add up to 256, which is your typical 5-6 minute Drum & Bass track. But hell, as we've seen from many artists, there are tracks that are from 2 minutes to 10. (Not a suggestion, an FYI.)
But, regardless of structure (something that will be fleshed out as you keep practicing with the genre), the track is pretty good. Reminds me of old skool jungle and liquid funk of the 90s.
I quite enjoy the intro pianos. Their delay times add a really good amount of depth and spaciousness to the track, although, it may be a bit much when one has to hear each key play out the duration of the delay. The thin drum kit the beginning seems like a good addition, but I was expecting more rhythm as the bass came in to join the party. It even dropped out so quickly that it left me no time to enjoy it's presence while it lasted.
Bass is pretty deep, but I want more sub. It seems like it's just hiding in the background there. But for this kind of track, it works pretty well.
The synth that follows up with the phase is pretty sweet. And the arp to accompany the synth certainly makes a great addition. But the build-up left me sort of indifferent. The drop has to hit you across the face. It needs to grab your attention. It's what allows you to make your melodic and harmonic statement to the world. The basic snare roll does the job, but it just doesn't seem enough to make one keep interest. It has to provide a "hook", so to speak, to pull in the attention of the listener.
Of course, the Amen break <3 Such a malleable break, and one of the most used breaks of the DnB community, and my most loved of them all, aside from the Think, Firefight, and Apache lol. Interesting that you used it in it's original form. This is more like Breakbeat/Breaks/IDM/Liquid fusion type of track, in the way you manipulate the break to fit with the track.
Breakdown into the next section was pretty smooth. Nice snare delay to end the previous section, and same snare roll into delay used to signify progression into the next section after the appearance of the thin drum kit. Some pretty cool lead stabs you have there to accentuate the main melody of the track.
As the track approaches the outro phase, there just doesn't seem to be enough variation. The same elements used, but the same patterns also used. I was hoping for a different change of pace from the breakdown onward, just to throw it off the rocker, and then bring it back to its original form. It certainly would have helped out. But regardless, it acts as a formal restatement of the the main verse. I'd say, job well done.
Practice makes perfect. This is certainly a step up from your previous tracks. Love where the style is going. Keep rolling with it!

Gotta say, mate. F'ckin' BAWS. Taking those skilzors of yours to new heights I see. I'm certainly enjoying this track quite thoroughly!
Honestly? No qualms really. Sounds pretty good!
Great job!
Seems like years of work finally payed off! Glad I impressed you, IZK. Here's to a new age in music for me!

Boom (TSS) BTSH, Boom Boom (TSS) BTSH.
Aww yeah ;)
Love this track. Awesome change from drumsteppin' to drum and bass x-steppin'. Should totally make a whole DnB version of it though, bro! :D It would be totally cool.
Keep it goin!

Very nice.
An interesting flash, my friend. It explains a lot XD You did well, but I thought the animation was a bit weird, but you have an interesting style to it. Keep improving yourself, 'cause I think this could be a wee bit better. Orginiality is coolies, and everything else seems to be in place. I thought the '6 hours later' thing was pretty funny. And sadly, your friend there died because of a toxic crayon XD hahah. Nice. I felt bad that the little dude there at the laptop only cared for his WoW character rather than his death. But, really great nonetheless. Keep it up!

Thank you sooo much. I'm glad that you liked it.

I haven't reveiwed much...
Since there really wasn't much to review in the Under judgement section of the flash portal, but this... I thought was worth review. Very very good work, even if they were all random clips. I was enjoying it all: the animation was very crisp, and it all sort of flowed together. There was some substance, but I did laugh at some parts that I thought were funny. This was pretty awesome. All you need is a story line, a script, and an idea. An awesome job, mate. Keep it real~

Keep Working at it..
Don't ask for a good grade. That ensures failure of this flash, dude. Work for it. This was pretty good, but too short, as you said... ssooooooo yeaaaahhh. You did pretty well, but you need to modify the sprites. A bit choppy. Work harder on the tweening, yeh? I'm sure you'll get better at it. Keep it real~
