Not bad, it seems really bassy on my big monitors (15" JBL's)

about :49 the crashes seem a bit hot , vocals are really quiet. I couldnt pick out any words at all. Are you the singer? Dont be afraid man turn em up a little.

a couple of tweaks away and you're good

i think the band sounds like a band, tight. the drums and guitar you nailed- really captured a solid sound.
i would like to hear more vox. it just sound washed out and not down the center enough (for me) is there some delay on it that might cause some loss in definition?
great recordings though,

yeh i did most of the stuff on these recordings... and i guess i have that problem where i want to bury the vocals (im not a natural singer or lyricist).

Awesome!
Like drewbass said, everything sounds nice and tight. Vocals sound great, don't be ashamed to pull them up a little bit, but at the same time it would sound awkward if these (songs) had vocals pulling out front. I really like them the way the are on the one set of speakers I have listened on so far.
killer!

i like the level of the voice..the only things are the cymbal crashes are too much for my taste and there is a bit of a harsh edge to the high frequencies..nothing major..im listening on crappy laptop speakers BTW..

haha, i'm actually a fan of shitloads of crash, but the vocals sound pretty rad, like the hook of the song, and could go up.
