Just got a chance to listen. The drums on the second one are as good
as I've ever heard. I'd compare the sound to the drums on One Headlight
by The Wallflowers (pretty much accepted as some of the best snare drum
recording ever) except that I think yours sound better. Cleaner and
more well defined. Not too much reverb. Really great!
Thanks everyone for your feedback and help!
I made a bunch of fixes suggested here, and also ran it through JAMIN.
Anyone hear anything glaringly broken in either of these?

These are just so professional-sounding.. Really nice! I would be
interested to hear who played what instruments, and how you recorded
it.
I listened on some cheapo Koss headphones ("the plug"). First song
sounded very light with good separation of the instruments. The only
thing I wondered about was the snare - at one part when it plays on
its own (2:28) it sounds pretty thin. Maybe like it had had lots of EQ
added with mids/bass cut out? Also is there an xrun around 2:50-2:51?
Maybe this is just my imagination though..
The snare on the second one sounded much better. I wonder if the
second song is a little bass-heavy though - maybe the bass guitar
could be eq'd so it doesn't overlap with the bass drum so much? It
sounds great on my headphones - but I know when that's the case and I
move over to my hifi it can sound really over the top and boomy.
Please keep in mind that I have no background in
sound
engineering/mixing or any of that stuff, so these points are probably
completely wrong. Just giving personal opinion on the sound using some
very low-end playback cans!
I think these are, two really fantastic recordings - would not sound
out of place on any radio station/commercial CD.
