Ahh humma humma humma
The mixes on the songs sound pretty tight (listening on head phones), but I've got to be honest... the programmed drums are killin' me 
Too many ride cymbal hits thrown in where they wouldn't make a lot of sense for a live drummer to use.
The bass guitar is a little low in the mix on headphones... I'll have to take a listen on the monitors at some point.
I take it you are heavily influenced by Kansas, Jethro Tull, Alan Parsons, Boston etc?
Looks like you all manage to keep your schedule fairly well booked... nice job.

I agree with Velvet...the drum machine is definitely taking away from what you've got going on. I think, AS IN MOST CASES a real drummer would do wonders for your sound but if you can't get one (As suggested) the cymbal hits would be a good place to start.
Otherwise the general overall mix sounds good and the songs (although not my taste) seem really well put together.

Yeah, not my style either, but seems well put together. Bass seems ok to me, but maybe could use some eq, seems a little high register-wise.
Agree regarding drums, would add the hi hat seems a bit fizzy.
Vocals sound good to me, good arrangements, guitars sound good for that sort of style.

interesting stuff...really good. the only crit would be the drums sound really thin. like the bass doesn't really sound bassy, and the snare seems to lack body. if you could thicken that up, I think it would really help. just a thought. sound nice though!
