Okay, here's my $.02; take it for what it's worth.

Introducing...: Creates a nice mood. It's a little sparse, but that's okay. Sounds more like a soundtrack than a track for an MC - not that that's a Bad Thing.

As We Swing: This one's fun. It's hard to understand the distorted lyrics during the "chorus"; other than that, I like this one.

Burnt Out: The vocals are far more effective on this one. A strong track.

Ghosts: Not my cup of tea, personally. This feels like a standalone instrumental, but the lead vibes aren't playing a strong enough melody line to carry the day.

Ancient Space: The drums could use to reverb, in my opinion. I was more interested in the slow, languid intro than the track as it sped it up. The fast part isn't bad; it's just not as interesting

Buildings and Mountains: Nice Yogi sample. I like this one. Nice pop vibe with the guitar and subtle vocal pads. Good stuff.

Must've Misread: The snare's a little too thick and wet, IMHO - it's threatening to overpower the chord progressions. But man, when you get to the bridge, this one shines. The best of the bunch.
