Some nice tracks
If you need hosting of tracks I'd also suggest you use soundcloud.com. That's what I use. Unlimited tracks and better player than myspace.
Mix downs could do with a bit of work. The vocals seem to sit quite far back in the mix.
Otehrwise some nice ideas.

thanks for advice
I did most of mixing and didn't really have a clue what I was doing i.e. picked it up as I went along. The singer kept on asking to be made more and more quiet ;)

Ignore him!
The vocal really needs pushing forward. Good stuff though!
/edit. By "him", I mean your singer.

What did you mix with?
I suppose the quality of your mix downs vary greatly with the set up you have. ie monitor placement, type of monitors, quality of plug ins used etc etc.
I make dance music so it's a whole different ball game to what you doing, but I do think with a little tweaking you could improve your sound greatly.

equipment
Recording: Vocals done using a Behringer phantom preamp with a JTS condenser mic into a PC with a DMX 6Fire. Guitars also done through the 6Fire.
Software: Cool Edit Pro for mixing (bit old school I know) and FL Studio for synths and beats.

you need to try reaper
Seriously. Its a $50 DAW (a la cubase, logic) and its very very good. I suggest you move to that immediately! Much better for your applications than cool edit pro. It supports vst's and best of all you can download a fully functioning version for free that never expires.
Check it out here: www.reaper.fm/
Also for some really amazing free vst plug ins check out: varietyofsound.wordpress.com/downloads/
I'm not an engineer, but I could point you in the direction of some helpful sites if you want. Rather message me on here if you want that cos I'll miss it otherwise
