I'm trying to start making some music and expand my musical abilities, and I would like to hear some input on the songs I've already done and see how I can improve!

Method (http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/562870)

Galaxies Align for Us (http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/563275)

What do you guys think?

seems like you have some capacity for music but the melody is a bit bland and there's no bass drop. Try thinking about what makes a song sound good and do that. Try playing around with the drums and each individual instrument to make it sound novel and cool. the melodies for those two songs are really quite dull, and the looping really chews at the ears. The best songs I find sound good mainly because of the melody, like that sprites song by skrillex that has like 9000 remixes done.

Method certainly has potential. The drones are good and it varies enough to stay interesting. Just make it longer and experiment with different techniques (pitch shift, counterpoint etc.) also it needs some high sounds its a bit low and mid range at the moment

Again the other one has potential. Until 1:23 its fine but after isnt as great. I think it would improve greatly with a drop at 1:23
