Rate my band/songs "Better" & "Like"

[TheMole]

We recorded some stuff we've been doing recently and I've got a very rough mix to share from a song....
Opinions appreciated (on the song, structure, playing, vocals - we know the mix sucks ).

BTW, this song used to be called "Better", but we didn't know about the leaks back then, so it's now called "Better Than You"

Second song is more of a ballad, power ballad type thing in which the mix is a tad better, but not very good at all yet. Comments on this one also very welcome... (but be carefull, this one has emotional baggage for me ). Song is called "Like"

I think the song flows allright from beginning to end. 
The solo fits perfectly with the song but for some reason I find it odd how it closes it. 
Since I didn't take the time to analyze the lyrics, I wont be able to rate that.
Change the name back to "Better". 
The leaks have nothing to do with your song, and besides, "Better" sounds better than "Better than You". 
The intro sounds pretty catchy to me. (I'm not talking about the Drum sticks)

Thanks, I'll keep that thing about the ending in mind. Maybe we need somekind of coda/bridge te end this with?

I posted another one I would like some comments on from you guys, I editted the original post with the link.
You can find it at http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=847403506DD62E9E . This one is called 'Like' and it's more of a ballad/power ballad in the end.
