This is a fairly polished sounding recording. The vocals are well placed (if a bit "close" sounding) and everything does a good job of staying in it's sonic space. (read: thanks to the guitarists for not scooping the mids) I'm listening to this under the assumption that you are (sorry for pigeon-holing you guys) a post-hardcore band. The arrangement of the guitarists in the speakers sounds good, though a little far panned, though that is a matter of personal taste. The guitars do sound like they're relying a bit too much on "overdrive" instead of letting the tubes do the work (I'm not sure what they are running through.) The breakdown in "glasgow smile" was good (I'm a sucker for big stops) though if it were me, I would have let it run a little more, and built from that a bit more. Congratulations on being a bassist in a metal band that is actually audible on a recording! Your playing sounds very tight and concise. You sit directly in the pocket and that really makes the recordings sound HEAVY. One caveat, while I too like the bass hits (big booms) don't use them too much, or you start getting into the cheesy Job For A Cowboy EP territory.
Verdict: a good introduction to your band, production values are decent and the ideas are solid. I like!
(everything I said is completely due to personal preference and should not be taken too seriously.)
