Ok I'll check it out... The first track sounds really off-sync when the guitars come in, did you actually play them along with the drums? You should.  hmm

The guitar on Poke Nelson sounds really off tune, the D string particularly. (same for some other songs)

Barf Bag is fine in the first minute (then it gets a bit out of sync), vocals are usually panned to center though  wink  (same goes to other songs, listening to vocals off-center with headphones is pretty distracting and even a bit annoying)

William was pretty good though... The hi-hat is a little too loud in some parts (could be fixed with EQ). I'm not sure if lyrics "you're a terrible person" and "I'll kill you William" fit an acoustic song but it kinda gives it an ironic feeling, if you were aiming for that  tongue

It's Finally Over was decent too, though a little boring.

Overall: Your songs have lots of potential, but the equipment (you really need a better mic.) used it's that good. You also need to synchronize all the instruments - try recording the drums first and then play everything along to it if you don't already. If you do, then practice playing along to a constant rhythm (i.e. metronome) until you can keep a solid rhythm.  smile  And course, tune your instruments before every recording, sometimes they can get off tune pretty easily.

EDIT: Oh and sing in tune. There's lots of vocal exercises in Youtube you could try e.et

That's what I said too! At first it could have wirked, but then the oddly metered guitar parts fell apart.

I would totally pay solid money for william if only the crash cymbal and the guitars were in sync

Well, they're intentionally off-sync, but whatever floats your boat.
