moving on:
not a bad mix at all, i might bump the bass a bit.
rhythm guitar: needs more punch throughout, and i'd suggest for the chorus recording a clone track, panning the 2 guitars, and bringing up the volume on to give it a more expansive sound. this chorus is begging for emphasis. i'd probably do the same on the intro.
drum recording needs work, but i'm sure as hell not throwing stones in this department. snare needs the most work. from what i can tell on myspace, the kick and toms are decent. cymbals always sound distorted on myspace. good balance of the kit, good early effort, keep working at it.
the vox sound pretty good--i like this somewhat calmer version of geddy lee. commendable performance.
backing vocals are performed, captured, and especially blended well.
tone/level of the lead guitar works well here. i like it.
wardance:
snare seems better on this one. mix sounds pretty even. thin guitar.
fly away:
same rhythm guitar issues here as the first song--cloning, panning, etc would do well. i hear you did throw in a second RG track at the end, which was a good decision. i'd bring the RG volume up when the lead comes in to fatten up/expand again.
regarding all songs, the 3 most obvious problems are
1) myspace player. get a soundclick account.
2) rhythm guitars are thin. the levels of what you have are mixed well, but you need a thicker, ballsier tone.
3) the recordings simply need to be bigger.
i'd try running the mixes through some software (i use soundforge) to sort of bring everything into the same room and give the whole mix some eq and compression for added cohesion and polish (i'd add low end to each in the 60 to 125 hz realm, and experiment with the rest of the spectrum). reverb levels seem appropriate.
is this your first shot at recording? if so, you're off to a flying start!
