I have been in several bands so I will be glad to give you my opinion.
As for the sound being dated, SO! It's not Orgy or Sugar Ray or Limp Bizkit,, but you know what,, those bands SUCK!
First of all you have guts for posting these in such an open forum so that says to me you have alot of confidence in this music! And deservidly so. The writing, which is one of the most important parts in music( hence pop artisits hiring pros to write their songs ), is poretty good. Catchy hooks throughout... The harmonies are great! Personally the safety song is the weakest one of all,, but it is pretty interesting.
