| Your songs are pretty good IMO, possibly something I would listen to on a regular basis.
However, as stated before, the mix just doesn't sound right.
First, you have to learn how to mic your drums better. There are tons of information on that subject on the Internet.
Also, you could add compression on most tracks when recording to make things more even and "cleaner" (drums especially, in your case, but you cn aplly them to vocals, guitars, bass too). A good compressor is more often than not essential to a good sound on recordings.
Your bass sound is good, but if you want to record guitars, drums and vocals, you have to make them sound good too. You can ask some more experienced sound engineer how they do it, or just go with trial and error. Sometimes it's a thing of post-recording EQ, sometimes it's just a matter of recording it better.
My comments, in a flash :
-Kick is not mic'd properly, sounds harsh and too boomy. It "sucks up" the mix every time the kick hits.
-Vocals and guitars are hidden under the bass track (unless it's really what you want, vocals should be on top so people hear the lyrics correctly)
-Are drums exported in mono? I hear them only in my left earphone.
-Tracks are not clean enough. At the beginning of each song you hear the noise of the guitar tracks before the first note/chord, which is not a good thing.
-Overall mix is not good enough. as IconBasser said, you could ask someone more experienced to do it for you, or just practice and read a lot and become yourself more experienced in mixing.
Good songs though!! Sorry if I sounded harsh, I just try to be honest with everyone asking for feedback, because personnaly I hate it when people just tell me "It's good" and give me no constructive criticism.
Keep on rockin' man!
