The mix seemed to be weighted toward the right hand side, so sounded a tiny bit off balance, maybe that's my monitoring, but that's how it sounds from this end.

At 0:49 there is a little audible crackle just left of centre, at 1:38 there were a couple of tiny little snaps further on the left hand side, sounded like digital snapping, really faint, just under where he says "it's over now".

There's another, louder one, at 2:54 in the same place. Don't know if that's just from the encoding though?

Snare is a little over-compressed for my taste, track in general is heavily compressed/limited too.
Please bear in mind that I'm not telling you what I like about it because that won't be of much use

And I'm commenting from a layman's/listening perspective, so all the above you can take with a pinch of salt if you so wish

3rd song added (Eclipse)

I still like Sky Lake the best out of the 3, it's not really my cup of tea (the music in general) but I can appreciate the artistry in it, I like the piano work, and the power in the Sky Lake choruses is impressive.

I swear you do my favorite stuff here.

I can't add any criticism, but I will say that you always do quality ass work and I hope to get to that point someday!

Hey, overall things sound really good. The only thing I felt consistently on all the songs was the hats sound a little thin and punch through a little too well. Maybe even EQing out some highs will help them blend in a little better. When I was listening to all the songs, the hats just seemed to distract me a little bit and did not feel like they were part of the rest of the kit. Good stuff!
