The song I listened to sounded fine. The balance of instruments and vocals seemed solid.

I just listened to Illusion

In terms of stereo width, the mix is incredibly thin. Try widening it up: try doubling up the guitars, I'm a big fan of doing this. Compress the bass guitar, since the volume throughout is a bit erratic; compressing it should help even it out. Timing is also off a little in places. Drums lack stereo width too. Hi-Hat seems to dominate mix right at beginning of track. Were the drums just recorded in mono ? Sounds like it?

If you can, also boost the kick drum sound. I cant hear it, at all.

In terms of timing in general, it seems like you are strugling with it on all tracks. Try recording to a click track. This will help keep everything solid and locked in place. Recording this way can be difficult to begin with, especially for the drummer, but you'l all get used to it after a while and the end results are normally alot better.

Also, in future do try linking to mp3s. `Flash' players have a habit of being a pile of bollocks.
