Wow man id usually say that the shine on the buttons is to much but damn that looks great. I will say that it makes me think of myspace though. Nice work man 10/10 (never thought id actually say it)
It has it's strong and weak points. The buttons are very nice but the layout is actually poor. Especially the links part.
Good work, only thing i'd suggest is either put more buttons in the navigation, or centre it and also add something on the banner, otherwise it looks real good, simple, yet effective.
