haha they are all white. not sure if that's a compliment but I'll take it either way.
 
Good simple reaggae - well written and performed. The panning/balance on the first mix is weird for me. But I never listen to reggae so maybe that's normal. The vocals are amazingly clean. I found the drums and bass to be "woofy", "muddy" or bottomy. The guitar sounds okay in rhythm. The lead sounds okay.
I'd love to hear some more details on your recording setup.
 
Thanks a ton. Yeah, I'll admit the panning is a bit odd. I was trying to go with a very spatial mix but I have had a lot of trouble getting the bass to solidify. I may make it sound more like the bass in the second track. As for the kit, I wanted more "punch" from the kick drum so I high-shelfed some of the lower frequencies up about 3 db so I'll try and bring that back a little bit for the next mix.
