The lyrics on the third track 'jockey' were treading a thin line with the refrain from a nursery rhyme; generally that kind of thing becomes annoying quickly. But then I was listening on laptop speakers so I couldn't hear everything. The guitar fret squeaks were nice but I think they could be toned down a bit across the board so they are less overwhelming.
Oh and you should be aware that if you are called Muse there is already somebody popular called that, and also 'state of mind' was a song by the band 'senser' that you probably don't want to be associated with.
Anyway, good work!

My best advice would be to take one or two projects and focus on them. Give them separate web sites (if you're doing more than one), and really give each project its own sound/style. Figure out what it is you're doing and what kind of audience it's aimed at (i.e., people who also like x and y and z might like you as well). And try to play live a lot, especially on bills with bands that would appeal to similar people.
I'm not sure what you play/do on these tracks, but it's good stuff and you seem talented, so I think it's just a matter of how you direct your focus and how you (gasp) market yourself.
