well hell... We recorded our tracks all in the same room together, amps
turned down a bit to reduce bleed, threw out those as scratch tracks

sterile. Too clean. Take a listen and maybe you can tell me what I am
doing wrong:

What you're doing wrong is overdubbing everything and throwing out the
original tracks. The bleed is your friend and properly used, the bleed
can help the sound a lot. And the overdubs never have quite the same
feel as the original track.

Try making a mix from the scratch tracks and then one from the overdubs
and compare the two.
