 Looking for a serious album review/critique

Hey folks...
I've been posting my stuff for awhile, gotten a pretty good response. The album is finished, this past friday we had the record release show. It went pretty well, had a turnout of around 125 (which is thrilling as a beginner musician) and sold a bunch of cds. I'm looking for some people to do a serious review (well written, cite specific examples etc) of said album. Post in here or pm me and ill hit you up with a link to DL the whole album (what.cd users, it should be up and in the vanity house before too long  ). Hell even if you dont feel like writing up a nice review/crit for the album, I'll still send it your way... All i ask is for some serious opinions. It's cool if you think its the shittiest thing you've ever heard, as long as you can give me reasons why!
Hope to get some responses
edit: heres the link cause i keep having to hunt it down

Lookin forward to hearing what you guys think
There are on the album what I'd call "moments of brilliance". It was recorded with a minimal budget using only mediocre mics, a presonus firepod, and my laptop running logic studio. There are definite high and low points to the album, but all in all, I'm extremely happy with this as my first release.
If absolutely nothing else, I'd say its a good starting point that I plan on building off of for the rest of my life.

The first track Carry Me Home has some really nice harmonies but starts to get really repetitive and is a little on the cliche side. The ending is what really pulled the song together for me because it sounded like you really let loose had a good time recording that one.
The second track, I Am, to me sounded a good bit like the opener. The acoustic and electric guitars create for a nice, pleasing combination. The ending was very fitting for that song with some nice, easy drums to finish it off.
By the third track, Peppermint, I got a pretty good idea of what sound you were going for. The acoustic lead creates nice accompaniment to the rhythm. Your vocals fit well with your acoustic style. I have to say though, that this song just sort of lulled me to sleep because of the lack of changes in song. To me, a song needs stages or phases to go to and from that stir up different emotions for the listener but this failed to do so. The fourth track, Walk Away, did the same thing for me. It creates for nice acoustic music but the audience needs to be awake to hear it.
Hey Mister is one of the tracks i liked the most. Upbeat beginning with a good, catchy chord progression. At first I the change in the song was too abrupt and different but upon second listen I like how it adds another dimension to the song and the progression from creates for a good ending in my opinion. Definitely one of the most interesting tracks.
After the note I was left off on I felt i was getting put back to sleep. Don't get me wrong, I think the guitar parts in Rosalina are nice and pleasing sounding the ear but it's just too soft. It made it hard to feel the music. I understand K.I.S.S. (Keep it simple stupid) is a good method for making music but I couldn't get the depth in it.
Things was another song that I liked a lot because of the progression through the song. The drums created for a nice groove to bob the head to. I liked your vocal harmonies and lyrics in this one but after "Some things stay the same" i felt the song just ended with no cadence or anything and just left hanging from your vocals which i was feeling.
Reprise was a nice and soothing interlude but was almost not needed as i felt it was just taking space for other matter on the album.
Dream had the best harmonies on the whole album and was very fitting with the acoustics. The electric part after the beginning was very interesting and i felt the notes. I thought that was a good way of still keeping the music nice and simple but still kept the audience feeling it and kept them alive. But once it gets to the chimes (or whatever they were) i really felt myself, well, dreaming. If this is the effect you were going for than congrats but I personally would want my music to keep the audience going instead of going to sleep. But the next song made up for it.
Awake, well woke me up from my slumber that Dream put me in. This was a nice rocking song which i think you execute really well. I liked the acoustic parts because it created a nice flow for this song and a good ending to the album overall.
All in all, your vocals fit your music well as do your acoustic parts. I would say keep working in the electric parts so you have more depth and feeling. 1 to 10 (10 being best), I'd give this album a 7 or 6.5. I personally don't listen to this genre of music much but I tried to give an unbiased and honest review, you can take it for what it's worth. Keep going with it, you'll see the progress.

hey public enemy, really appreciate you taking the time to write that out for me, especially seeing as how it's not really your style. I'm certainly taking all these things to heart, as every bit of criticism and feedback will ultimately make build on this foundation
