This guy seems like a nice guy so I didn't want to trash him that ba, but you're right, posting your music to the world means you get criticism, so here it is.

You have one strange voice. You've got this really weird vibrato going on when you hold notes. The majority of the notes are not on key, at all. The melodies, and general sound, if you can call them that, are 90's weezerish, not gunna get you anywhere these days. The swearing does absolutely nothing for you, because you sound super emo and teenagerish and then all of a sudden it's like whoa, what the hell, he's swearing? strange as hell. It's also like you're trying to sing like a michael buble or whatever his name is.

I think I won't even criticize this anymore. I just don't want to even listen to it to find things to judge.

Suggestions
-----------

1) Definitely switch styles of music. You already sound dated....in a bad way.

2) Model your voice after someone that isn't either the guy from dashboard confessional, or Michael Buble, or just start a band called Buble Confessional.

3) Write lyrics that don't just sound like you're whining for 3 minutes. Take out the swearing, it's pretty useless and degrades the quality of any song as it shows you can't come up with a more creative way to get things across.

4) Listen back and play things in time, a lot of the music is off, start with the drums and base and add from that if you're recording track by track. If you do have a band, fire them.

5) Keep working on it, but definitely make drastic changes.

Well, wasn't the best. Sounded new found glory-ish. It's all the fuckin' same.
By the way, Weezer could possibly be the best band that has ever come around- and to sound dated, blue album and pinkerton are some of the best albums ever made. Nobody wants to hear the same thing anymore- which is nice because your voice doesn't sound like something right now to compare to.
If you decide you want to cut an album, give me one million dollars and I'll make you huge, because your penis isn't- and that's probably why the girl in the song didn't like you very much.
The End.

Jeez dude, yeh, what James said about the swearing. I know Ben Folds does it and he's pretty clearly a big influence on your music, but swearing isn't for everyone and I don't think it suits you. Lol you do sound a bit like Buble in that second one. Actually, you do sound kind of like a mediocre version of all those bands you have in the 'influences' section, ever thought of becoming a B grade cover band. You'd make decent money (not really) if you continued to improve!
