New Album! My first ever! Feedback requested

Hello, my bass brethren. After much effort, my band, Lon Chaney Movie, has released it's debut full-length album. I came late to the game, and it's the first LP release that I have ever been a part of, so pretty exciting for me.

I hope that I have done right by the bottom end. I also wrote the linked song. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Dude, Hear and Falling Idol are killer tracks. Very cool bass tracks overall. There are some parts under the lead guitar where you could pick up the intensity but for the most part it's all cool. They are all pretty stellar jams. I only have a couple of listens in, and I seem to be having a bit of a problem with the vocals. Ain't no big scene as his vocals are very unique and I feel are not bad but I need at bit more grit in the highs and upper mids to sync with y'all's vibes as a band. Overall, I felt no need to rewrite in my mind the things you were playing. Excellent album and I wish Y'all well. Peace.

Thanks for the kind words and the constructive feedback on the bass parts.

It's funny, a lot of people seem to like the tunes, but you are not the first person who wishes the vocals were a tad grittier, at times. I think they work well on the more straight ahead tunes that he writes, but my songs tend to be a bit heavier and, well, weirder, so that is something to consider.
