#2 to me is the more interesting of the two IMO. i would personally bring down the distorted sample vocal more to the level of the cleaner sample, it pokes out too far for me. I agree with mark d. in that the kick is a little dull. overall i think it could be revisited to balance levels a bit more, but its pretty cool. i like songs with a lot of space.
Many thanks for the advice. For the second track, yea I spent hours in Amplitube tweakinng the amount of distortion before I finally decided on the level it's at now. I can bring it down though. I can give some more polish to the lows as well. Lemme check that out.

Can you/ya'll check these two here in the meantime?
