Hey...I played your songs twice in lo-fi and this is my take...

I thought as far as the recording side that everything sounded real decent and clean (levels, EQ, effects). For 40 kbps the sound quality was great. Your singing was unique, but, at the same time, somehow familiar sounding to me. Your vocal style is not what I am usually into, but it seemed in-tune and honest. I have found that good singing voices are harder to come by than most other pieces of the music puzzle. The rhythm guitar sounds good. The lyrics/arrangements are listenable.

There are some things that (to me) hampered the quality of your songs. It seemed that the timing could been tighter. If you experiment recording to a click-track/beat/metronome you might get a more solid (timing) feel to the songs (I'm not suggesting that you put a beat in your final mix, but to use a beat/click during recording). Also the lead-guitar parts almost always detracted from, instead of adding to, the songs (especially on "Honey, Honey"). I thought, for the most part, your voice sounded better without the back-up, chorus-sounding, vocal (that you used on a few of the songs). My favorite song was "Cry'n over You"...I would be interested in hearing it after you recorded it using a click and without the lead guitar.
