im listening to it right now.. i hate to knock your "hard work".. but if you want honesty, here it is... i was in a band for 3 years back in the day and cut two cd's.. our first cd when we were 15-17 years old sounded better and more polished then what you have on that site.. we did everything in one take on a budget of less than $2,000
i do listen to a lot of punk and emo type music, but this sounds almost to generic.. like every song wants sounds like green day (guitar wise) and saves the day (vocally)...however, the quality of the recording and the quality of the vocalist/guitarist makes it hard to listen to.. with 2-3 different chords anyone can make a hit, but with what you are doing, it really doesn't sound good.
your going to need some computer editing on your voice, some vocal lessons, and some work on your ear (you almost sound tone deaf) assuming you are the lead singer.. your drummer needs a metronome and someone to train him when and when not to hit a cymbal.
of all the songs.. #2 sounded the best; vocalist was more on key, and the drummer wasn't playing.

wanna give me 4k so we can go record in a professional studio? Dont need tons of snazzy wanna be metal guitar solos and other things to make a song good. Im glad my singer sounds like chris from saves the day, i love saves the day they ****** rock, oh and their songs are 4 chord wonders along with just about everyother band now adays as well. dont worry, i have some solos in some songs we recorded though cause i love to mix it up

i thought you were the guy making like 30k a year off the band.. or 30k a year in general.. im sure you could scrounge up a few dollars between you and your bandmates to raise 4k easily.. if your serious, you'll do it. your only looking at a grand a person..
saves the day is good for a punk band.. re-read my other post.. i stated that it sounded like thats who you ere trying to be like.. not who you actually sounded like.
re-read my post again.. i said anyone can make a hit with 2-3 chord songs.. but what your doing isn't cuttin' it. i didn't say it was bad to use 2-3 chords..
use some guitar solo's.. try to polish your vocals/guitar/drummer.. well try to polish everything up.. take your time.. your recording sounds rushed, and it doesn't sound like anyone really took the time to make adjustments to the mix.. i know computer software can do better then that, so try to redo everything, and lay things down track by track.. perfect everything.
