I listened to a couple of the mixes. Sounds finished to me.

Wrap it up, get paid, and move on the the next project?

If it's a three year project that's just nearing completion, your
best bet it to first decide if you still like the songs. If you do,
learn them again and re-record the project. It should take you just a
couple of weeks.

I am also one of the investors on this project as the manager of this
band. they are what sort of pushed me into the recording studio
engineer role as a career and for that I will forever hate them.

But at this point how do I help them? Is this stuff any good? How do I
find out?

Just a little inexperinced.

They certainly do sound polished. In fact you may have worn the paint off
completely.
I think, not meaning to be too cruel, that the technique is perfect, but the
material itself is, well, been done before?
On the other hand, so has all that genre...
I say push it out the door and see if you can sell a few copies on tour and
maybe locally get it on the radio, who knows...

I listened to the first 4 songs. A bit too pop/formula/compressed for
my own
personal taste but I think the songs are well played and recorded.
Publish and copyright the 2 best original songs.
These should be songs that the band can best pull off
in live performance.
Press a couple hundred to 1000 'promotional' copies and saturate your
local region.
Don't try to sell them , these need to be giveaways.
Include contact information for feedback, gigs, etc.
This will tell you if your target audience thinks it's 'any good'.


Additional suggestions:
1. Finish off your web site, including posts of the
band info/ pics, the sound clips and link to the band web site.
Have the band link back to your site.
2. Iron out the professionalism issues between you and the band.
Them dissing you on their site and you hating them in here
accomplishes nothing.
3. Get the band to book as many gigs as they can reasonably play.

I wonder if that's what Brian Wilson did with Smile?
