As I’ve been learning Spanish I find myself understanding Spanish songs a bit better so I enjoy those lol

Nice one lol

Thank you so much! I don’t think I’ve ever gotten 2 10s in a row in this group!

Good, I hope this motivates you to listen to those. This is why I really like the discovery aspect of this group.

Glad to see these getting love, especially Smooth Operator and What I’m Here 4 as those are some of my fav songs here as well. I could see this group reviewing a g--- Starr album in the future. Love that the Spice 1 track got love too, I was intrigued off of the title alone.

I appreciate it man I’m glad you enjoyed it enough to wanna revisit it!

Well maybe if Gen Z wasn’t so p----, they respect the OG’s Pubes. I’m talking deeper than the Roots. we need Black Thought in the news, and Questlove should be taught in schools. I don’t hate Math now, but I still laugh at the class clowns. You better respect Digital Underground, or these literal Caps will sound; Blaow!!

 

Apr 24, 2025

Holy s---, thanks for the glowing review bro I didn’t expect this! I’m a bit busy right now but I’ll give a proper response later!

Everyone's (Fifth) Favorite Mixtape:

I had an all around good time with this one! No More ?'s was a super fun opener Eazy E is always nice to listen to.

Everlasting Bass was cool, I liked hearing the original sample and it had a good sound even if it didn't click with me as much as some others.

Sunset Driver is f---ing dope, the crack that MJ put in his music is lethal.

Dancing Queen is a classic, anyone who hates ABBA is no friend of mine.

We Got The Beat is another good classic, idk if I actually listened to this song in full before so that was cool

I'll Be Loving You is a super smooth pleasant jam, I'm happy some of this music is making its way into the playlists I was afraid it'd get a little samey even with the large net of the prompt.

Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey was a lot more enjoyable than I was expecting, especially that second half. A confession of mine is that I've barely listened to the Beatles group or solo work so outside of the huge hits I'm not very familiar.

I will forever be biased towards Journey, incredibly more so when it's my goat Steve Perry on the mic. Wheel In The Sky is a great pick. I have a journey song on my Playlist but depending on how I'm feeling I might switch it out for something else now, I have a couple ideas.

Baby Blue was great, very enjoyable track. The only problem it has (albeit an unfair one) is that all the tracks coming after are generational.

Call Me is a 10, anyone who disagrees is a liar and a whole

I've always loved Joan Jett so Bad Reputation speaks to my soul

Now there's Beastie Boys songs I like more but for the sake of a playlist I think Sabotage is a good pick, you can't really go wrong with any of their hits.

These next couple songs hit a soft spot for me, My Own Summer is actually goated. Great song from a great album and a good mixtape pick for deftones.

Heart Shaped Box is my favorite Nirvana song, it's incredible. Everything about it is perfect and it's unfairly my favorite song of the tape.

Not much to say about Wish You Here, it's f---in Wish You Were Here everyone should love this one

Nothing Else Matters was a good closer, it's a well known one but not something someone would immediately think of which I appreciate.

Overall: I think the only thing I can really dock this on is that it's not really cohesive sonically but it doesn't need to be, I liked basically all the songs except for one or two that just aren't for me. This had a good mix of variety that never overstayed its welcome and was a smooth listen all the way through which is difficult when choosing between so many genres.

Favorite songs: No More ?'s, Sunset Driver, Wheel In The Sky, Call Me, Bad Reputation, Heart Shaped Box, Wish You Were Here

RATING:
9/10

@DiggleDogg69 - Everyone’s Fifth Favorite Mixtape

review

I’ve been listening to this mixtape for a few days now and can confidently say that this is truly a well assembled mix. It is also one that came closest to fulfilling the expectations I’ve had from this whole idea of a period playlist spanning three decades up until the turn of the century.

What I mean by this is; everyone’s tapes so far have been really great, but this one simply captures that glammy, borderline excessive feel of those 30 years.

I’m not saying that we should’ve been forcing ourselves to portray this essence, because my mixtape most certainly does not do that - it fails miserably lol. My point is, when I think of this period’s music, sounds like this immediately come to mind. Hence, Everyone’s Fifth Favorite Mixtape is a really great product of it’s time, it is made up of nothing but bangers and the era’s musical standouts.

I don’t have all that much to say about the songs themselves; a ton of them are classics that I’ve been enjoying for years and will continue to do so. Despite this, there are tracks on here that I wasn’t really familiar with. For example the MJ demo track which is a deeply enjoyable, fun standout. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a demo this polished.

Another song I enjoyed a lot more than I expected was the ‘New Kids On The Block s--- a lot of d-ck, boy-girl groups make me sick’ track. Jokes aside, this song is so great. Such a tender and wavy moment on this tape.

I’ve been a big McCartney fan for years but somehow never got around to listening to Ram. I should really get to that album ASAP cause Uncle Albert/ Admiral Halsey was easily my favorite song on here. It just does it for me,man. Precisely the right ratio of vibes to artsiness. Stellar, stellar song. Catchy as h--- too, McCartney is so good at this songwriting s---, he should’ve had started a band back in the day, man.

Hearing Joan Jett on here was a treat too. I love her. Bad Reputation and Sabotage were a great burst of energy to start off the closing portion of this tape with. The Deftones song, too. I never dug very deep into the Deftones discog, I mean I haven’t really heard anything besides for White Pony. My Own Summer (Shove It), however, was a brilliant track. These guys build a great atmosphere on here, Chino’s voice is very engaging.

The final three tracks being back-to-back legendary tunes is a bit of a safe play but I cannot fault you for it. All three songs are massive classics that pretty much cannot be overplayed. Nothing Else Matters is a good choice of a closer!

Overall, it is pretty much impossible to hate on this. It is a great collection of songs. Thank You for getting me to finally listen to this McCartney project and thanks for the fun mix in general!

Not trying to spite you but this one ain’t sounding like my Fifth Favorite Mixtape, it’s sounding like a

10/10

Experts say eating raw meat while listening to Ripper Raw will increase your enjoyment of it by 200%

Thanks man that’s good to hear because I tried to pick songs I thought most people in the group wouldn’t have heard rather than picking ones everyone has already heard. The only ones most people here have probably heard are the first track and the last track because I just like those songs too much to not try to include them
