just listed to uncertainty 62, salvations end, and revelations 40
songs were decent, I was waiting for something to happen, it just didn't sound like the songs had a very defined place they were going (which I don't necessarily think is bad for more atmospheric music, just every once in a while was thinking "when is the song going to build?") At the end of Revelations however, I was very pleased. I think that of the things I listened to the last part of the Revelations I could listen to a number of times. I enjoyed listening to Salvations end for the most part and will probably listen to other songs when I get free time.
sound wise: On Revelations the kick at the beginning had too much click thus making it sound a little fake. since the beginning is slower and more brooding I would recomend going for more of a low end kick to complement the slow moving chords and pads.
On Certainty the snare was aweful, sorry man, but it sounded like the snare on St. Anger aka someone hitting a metal chair. It was so distracting that while the song was ok I wouldn't listen to the song again. I didn't think the vocals were too bad. I prefer to hear the words from a vocalist and even though you had the growl going I still knew what you were saying. I would seriously consider either totally replacing the snare on the track or some major eq though before releasing the album.
On Salvations End I liked the chorus vocals, I think they were one of the stongest parts of the track. The rhythm guitars were slightly too high end fizzy for my taste, but they weren't bad enough to turn me away from song.
Good luck with with the band and don't beat yourself up over the vocals. They are much better that alot of bands that I mix for.
