Hi, F. Silvain
Critisism is always welcome, thanks. The drummer and I (guitar) know we
can be off tempo. Thats why we rehearse/record/play live always with
metronom in the ear. Imagine that, otherwise it would be worse ;)
Needless to say the bassist has a builtin metronom, he doesn't need the
click in the ear. Once we challenged him: We told him to clap a tempo,
say 105 bpm. He first started clapping, then I turned on the metronom at
105 bpm and he was perfectly in sync with it. Same at 85, 97 and 128
bpm! Crazy. I forbid him to move away after his studies and til now he's
obedient :)
As for the sounds, we purposely mix sounds and genres together but it
somehow always boils down to rock stuff :(. At sometime I'll put the
guitar aside for some songs and only do electro sounds, or wait: When
GuitarSynth is there where I want it (polyphony) the rock will go, the
electro will come ...

  I have some bad points as well. You drummer sounds a
little off. The
 guitar sometimes too, though that might be by design. With the drummer
 it's really noticeable. Also the production of the drums sounds
 typically "free music". You've kept the sound of the drums as they
 probably were, really nice, but in this productions my ears tell me,
 that it's too much. Even with just bass and guitar. For jazz it would
 have felt nice, but not for this rocky genre. The guitar sound itself
 was very agreeable though.

 Thank you for sharing and please don't take my comments as senseless
 complaints.
