you're gonna hate me.

for starters, there's too much high passing going on here, and not nearly enough low end/thump/growl/whatever you wanna call it, which is hilarious because according to the winamp analyzer you've got more low end than anything, but I sure don't hear it.

my 2nd major issue is that by halfway through the track I don't want to hear the bongos any more, let alone by the end.

This is another one of those tunes that has some really good ideas in it, but doesn't really go anywhere.  It sounds kind of 'cookie-cutter' to me.  Like you wrote an 8 bar loop and then tried to stretch it out into a full track without adding anything else.

Do you realize your break is high passed for the remainder of the track after the breakdown?  I don't know if you meant to do that or not, but it really isn't working for me.

Once again we have an entry here that has GREAT potential, but sounds like it was rushed.  You could stand to work on the transitions, and the mix.  Less top end, more low end, less usage of the same break/bongo throughout the entire track, mix it up a little.

6 - could be better, could be worse.
