Woah man, Wallmachines is dark and dirty (yet extremely clean at the same time 
). I wouldn't change a thing.
Doden is pure glitchy, dark bliss. Man these tracks are sounding clean.
Vice Versa is dubstep done right.
I feel like Marks could use a bit more low end presence. My sub isn't rumbling quite as much as I'd like it to. Everything else is awesome though. Vocals are sweet but maybe a bit too high in the mix.
I thought I was in for some trip hop with FMF but then the wobbles came in haha. Don't like this one as much as Vice Versa but it's still great.
Concrete Walls was slightly boring at times, but then again I'm really hard to keep stimulated
Filth is... well... filthy haha. Loving the vocals here, pure, brutal hateful swag
Overall it the album was awesome. Production is top notch. Keep making music man.

Quite alright my good sir, everyone makes mistakes. The reason why i didn't upload on this site was because it's a whole album and it would only be complicated to do so.

Thanks for the reply! That was the greatest review i've gotten so far on my tracks! Really appreciate the effort to comment the tunes!
I really agree with you on Marks about the sub-bass. Thing was that i started that project with Spark (the rapper) like a year ago and when it was time to mix the damn thing everything was really weird premixed and i tried to save most of the material (that took an awfull alot time) and i ended up just bouncing the track and call it "finished". When i get time i should probably "re-mix" it.

IMO the best mix was on Wallmachines. It was a pretty simple one to mix as well.
Drums:
Kick + Snare sent to bus 1. Hihat/loop/shufflepercussion sent to bus 2.
Bus 2 is sidechained to bus 1 about a 2:1 ratio. Bus 2 is also lowpassed around 150hz i think.
Bus 1 hits about -8dB and bus 2 about -10/12dB i think.
The thought was to have the whole track peak around -4dB and RMS about -6/8dB.
The various basses hits about -9 dB i think. All individually EQ:ed and sidechained to bus 1. Pads+choirs+fx's are fitted into the frequency spectrum where no others elements peak. So about 600hz-1.2Khz i believe. The basses are around 100-500hz and then there's a subbass underneath (also slightly sidechained to bus 1).
All reverbs are lowcutted around 300hz (so there's no rumble in the lower freq).
I bounced the whole track and used Ozone 4 for mastering. Set maximizer threshold to about -5/6dB so there would still be dynamics, though feel present through the whole track. I also used some multiband compressors to tame the higher frequensies abit and make the drums more snappy.
