Opinions please: 2 instrumental rock songs

I figured I'd post a couple of songs that I had recorded/mixed of my band from this past February.

I did these with my digi 001 and presonus firestaion for the extra 8 A/D via light pipe. 24 bit @ 44.1 khz

As far as pre's I used the two on the 001 and the two on the firestation. For the other pre's I rented
a presonus blue tube and a Mackie CR1604-VLZ.

Mic's: Oktava mk319, CAD M179, (2) c1000, beta 52, a bunch of sm57's, nady small diaphragm (i forget the model, it was only used for the hi hat, but rarely got used in the mix due to the overheads and room mic), and a few crappy nady dynamic mics for the guitar scratch tracks.

After reading this you can tell that this was a very 'low budget' recording. However given the total use of low end gear I am fairly happy with the finished product. We had a lot of trouble micing up the rack toms, due to our drummer's massive kit of 4 toms, 1 roto tom, 2 snares, and 11 some odd cymbals and bells. It was very hard to get the mics at a good angle on the toms, leaving the tom tracks VERY woofy and lifeless.

please feel free to leave me some feedback.
Sweatsuit type of guy - this song is a some what laid back

Command Center - this song is a little on the heavier side


thanks
