Yep.
Maybe focus on making song that people want to listen to. I'm not trying to be mean, but what I mean is even if you have quiet samples or not the greatest synth sound you can still get a beat building and adding more and get peoples heads bobbing.
Also maybe copy other songs structure, like how they start, build up, and drop.
You've also got to read and want to AND put in some time to get better.
Toilings Finished sounds better than everything before all your other songs.
I am cockator hear me roar. is even better. I like how part of it is centered and then others go out wider in the stereo field. Definitely the only so far I could easily listen to all the way through, and the melody is good.
In Track o' august I think I hear ascians samples.
Yup.

Listen, there's no need for anyone to tell you whether you're supposed to go on or not. It's a personal decision. No one ever starts out sounding good, it's with practice and ongoing work do you begin putting things together and then you find yourself in musical comfort. Just practice your techniques and the rest will follow.
And no, you don't sound that bad.

What are you using for your DAW?(Ableton, FL Studio, Acid, Cubase, etc.)
You have a good start which is rhythm. What you need to do with most of your tracks is fill in the empty spaces.
Synths/Bass/Random Noises whatever you want as long as it doesn't sound cluttered.
You really need to upgrade on your sounds. Everything sounds too cheesy. I'm guessing it's FL Studio synths. I use FL Studio myself and started out like you.

Im using FL studio. and thanks alot for the feedback, i know the levels are all wrong and everything is completely fucked up but i just started this earlier this year after downloading the FL demo and fooling around with it. I still have TONS to learn but i feel like the first thing i need to do is get my hands on sytrus, razor, or massive and figure out better intros and transitions
