Well, since the songs are so short it's not much of an album. It kinda sounds like a short, 3 movement song though 

You might want to make the piano a little less harsh and MIDI-like, but apart from that great job 

But it is a midi file 

You can still make seem sound less MIDI with good use of velocity (how loud/soft the note sounds, most midi editors should have this option) and a good soundfont. 

Can you teach me to? I use MuseScore.

I don't use MuseScore, but apparently the only kind of dynamics it can use are the mp, mf, etc. symbols. And what I usually do to "humanize" my tracks is randomize the velocity of all notes but by very little, and the difference between each dynamics symbol is way too much for that. You could still use them to have both soft and loud sections in your songs. 

I see 

New upload!

I'd also recommend you make your songs free to download, because then it will become more likely that people will get them and spread the word. For example, I could play one on my radio station if they were free to download (or even pay-what-you want) and it would be cool free promotion.

Are you judging that off the Puppet Adventurers or my solo stuff? >:C

Solo stuff
and I say that because of that song "Muffins"
and the singing in all of the songs
because you can't sing dude, I'm sorry
AT ALL

Both the vocals of the Puppet Adventurers and in "Muffins" are by puppetadventurer.

Listen to this.

According to UK Charts:

(...) a recording counts as an "album" if either it has more than four tracks or lasts more than 25 minutes. Sometimes shorter albums are referred to as "mini-albums" or EPs.

One more song and it's an album.    Obviously that's just a guideline, I don't think it should be too strict. An album is defined as a collection of music released to the public anyway. 

The shortest thing I could consider as an album would be Akryllic Love's Olympus Mons. It's only about 24 minutes. The longest would be the Smashing Pumpkins' Machina II, which clocks in at over an hour and a half.

There is a difference between what YOU consider to be an album and what others consider it to be. so
problem, officer?

There is a difference, but I am going by commercially available things that are marketed as full length albums. Why not go for making EPs?

Extended play. In between a single and an album.

Also, you should have just Googled it. :I
