Good job. However, you've got enough variation/different styles in each of your songs to make 3 more songs. Just pick one idea, and stick to it throughout the entire song (changing it up occasionally.)

well thanks for the input, my 5th song will be a bit more coherent and a lot slower, but its only about half done

although i have not listened to the songs, i disagree with marhsall. i enjoy long songs that continute to change; i find that after listening to a lot of tool (who, you guessed it, make songs like that), its real hard to listen to other "normal" music because its so... boring

[ok, so now after listening to the songs im seeing what marshall means. you have good riffs going on and such, but they are all only like 10 seconds long. so heres my advice: keep most of the same music, but make each part like 4 to 8 times longer, just sort of repeating the same riff. spend a bar or two trying to morph one riff into the next, instead of switching abruptly. arent a lot of techno songs like 8 minutes long? well. a lot of tool songs are. the fact that your songs were just pushing one minutte supports my "8 times longer theory"

anyways. good show. ]

Yeah my band (rodney7) is based on long songs with tons of style changes.
