any thoughts? anybody?

Cool songwriting man. I would say a little bit too much bass and gain on your electric guitars though. The overall mix lacks a little bit in the 2-5khz area for me too which may be mainly from your guitar sound as well. Are these guitars double tracked at least with two seperate takes panned hard left and hard right?
 
Guitars suck. Awful. :/

I'm kind of sorry ot say that, but do you use a cab simulator or something? Sounds like an eqd amp line-out.
Try Onqel or Lepou's ampsims with Lepou's LeCab and CatharsisStudios' impulses.

Pan your guitars 100% left and 100%right, tune them right, more bass on the kick drum and a bit less kick (or it sounds like Lamb of God's New American Gospel).
 
thanx, guys.

guitar sound sux, i know. my rec interface situation is ghetto as hell. i'm actually direct in (kinda) using the 7170 into lecab w/ one of the catharsis impulses, don't remember which. one of the "awesome" ones i happened to like.

double tracking............ eh, i tried to with this one. not all that good a player when it comes to the single note shit. it's actually copy & paste w/ a little delay added by lecab for attempted width, panned hard.

i'm surprised i didn't get much shit for my drum sound. it's actually a soundfont. totally sampled.

i'll try to get the gtrs clearer and bump the post when finished.
 
Yeah guitars with delay won't work really.

You'd be better off dual-tracking and tightening your performance if it's what's needed.

I'm not a terrific player to say that, but it's really the way to go.
