No Love - great tune - the last section really soared vocally. Drums stand out as really rockin'. Crunchy guitars grind nicely.... Great stuff!
PS - did you vote in HR Songwriting Contest yet?
 
Dude... "No Love" - you need to have a look at your Soundcloud wave picture... see that sudden increase in the middle where you raised the master volume from 1.43 for about 4 seconds whilst you did the big vocal note? Sticks out like dog's balls... I'd be undoing that if I were you.

And I'm not trying to give you a hard time here, but the solo following is seriously out of time in places and doesn't "flow" - it's almost like you stop and think "what'll I play next...?"

At 2.18 your backing volume ducks down... it's noticeable... it's not good. Again... at 3.01 - same thing, but not quite as noticeable... again at 3.19.... then "Loooove" at 3.25 is flat... more ducking at 3.42 And somewhere in the middle of all that, your voice is clipping or distorted... whichever... it doesn't sound good.

In the early parts there are bits (0.48 and 0.52) where your voice disappears into the backing...

Look, there's a good song in there... but even with my tiny headphones at my work PC I'm hearing these major issues.... how is it that you can't, would be my question? Back to work on this one.

I didn't listen to the second one as you've got enough to do on the first.

Good luck, and thanks for sharing. Keep at it.
 
Crazy: guitars sound over-compressed and too reverby. If you're going to double track them (which sounds nice) then you need a lot less verb.
drums sound hugely over-compressed too. Could be a master bus compression thing?

The vocal I think doesn't quite it right just yet... the "ha ha ha bless your soul" sounds like you're just reading the words and notes off the page, which is a bit odd. A bit too musical if that makes any sense at all?? Good in other places though!

I can't get to 'No love', get a page error instead.
 
I've just gotten into recording within the past 4-5 months. I dumped the old version of my son, "No Love" and re recorded everything to get a better sounding mix. Thank you for all the criticism, I'll be fixing things this evening!
