Not bad. The mixes are certainly vastly improved. My only criticism would be the vocals. For instance, the first couple of minutes of "Agitated" is very good, then as soon as the song requires a bit of punch (especially the higher notes), that lack of confidence comes through. The vocals do seem part of the mix though.
On "Show Me", you can tell you've tried to bring the vocals to the front of the mix but it ends up sounding separate from the mix. If the vocalist had some balls you could tone it down a bit and the vocals would still come through. The same can be said of "Future Now".
On "Immaterial Girl" the guitar parts lack volume throughout the track and again, the vocalist needs to let go a bit.
Overall it's OK. Instrumentally and from a song writing point of view it's pretty good. They actually sound like good musicians. I'd guess they were fairly young and have plenty of time to develop the confidence that their instrument playing suggests they should have.
