Hey Tom,
Okay I'll take the plunge ... First off the URL is still not working ... So I had to take the long way around, but I found it ... 
Okay on to the song. I like this, especially the chorus. It moves along nicely and I like the bass line you have going during the verses.
Recording wise it sounds pretty good on my end. There were a few intonation problems with the vocals during the verses...maybe just re-tracking in those sections to nail those notes.
Good playing! I really enjoyed this!

Well, I think there was some decent ideas there, but I really didn't get any type of "groove" from it. It just felt a little shaky to me. I think the kick needs some more punch to it. Not sure about the bassline in the verse. I don't know if there were a few mistakes or if it's supposed to be that way but some of the notes just sounded off. The vocal seemed a little dry also. I think it would also sound better if the singer would really belt it out a little more. There just didn't seem to be any real emotion or drive in any of it. On the right track though.

Way out of tune, the recording is dull and roomy-boomy. I can barely make out the details of the instruments. The bass sounds nice enough.
Dude, you're hitting some horrid notes there...yikes.
It's not my attempt at nasty just the honesty you really do need to hear.
Get some better monitoring for performances/recording so you can hear yourself.

Bass sounded cool but was a little loud, the drums sound like they are in the next room tho. Cool guitar, although it was kind of muffled in the mix.
This had that "whole band recorded by one mic" thing going on which I always find endearing.
I bet if you toned down the bass a bit and got a mic closer to the snare the mix would jump right out at ya.

Ok thanks everyone for your comments, good constructive criticism was what I was looking for. You say a lot of stuff I already know, this was quite a rough recording. The vocals I'm not too happy with especially, I actually made up the last chorus' melody on the spot, and i know it shows. I will be redoing them. Also, I wasn't belting them out cos I was embaressed about anyone else in the house hearing me, hehe.
Yup, there will have been a few mistakes in the bass lines... I've been playing the bass about a month, guitar about 1 1/2 years, drums about 6 months, and been writing for a few months. I've got plenty more songs, this is probably my 2nd/3rd favourite, but was the most complete. Only practice will make perfect of course!
About the tuning, I'm not sure... what do you think is out of tune? The intonation on my Tele is way off, so that might account for it. I've done my best to fix it myself, but I can't afford getting a tech to give me a nice set up.
I will be rerecording the whole thing (and other songs) once my A Levels are over, because I'm big on perfection, this recording is something of a sketch if you know what I mean. Thanks again, further comments would be appreciated!

To me it sounds like the vocals belong in a different song than the one being played. It might just be my crappy computer speakers but I can't make out what key you are in at any given moment. Now I'm a little obsessed by melody so take what I say with a grain of salt, but I just can't hook into this song. I play all my instruments as well, (though I now rely on a drum machine for recording) so I appreciate what you are doing here, but I think there are many things that need work, the mix (drums are in another room), vocals (don't sit in the mix) and the material (not a lot of harmonic interest)
