My mixtape is so odd because there are big a--- hits on here and then deeper cuts from the bigger artists lmfao I got an obscure a--- MJ song on here but then Dancing Queen by ABBA haha

A lot can change in 2 weeks though, I still gotta find 2 more tracks

review

My apologies for getting this review out so late, caught something and have been bedlocked for the last 2 days. I guess it is not just me though, cause this mixtape is sick as f--- too. Strong opening with the catchy Princess of the Night, a song that I hadn’t ever heard before. It immediately got stuck in my head as I have been humming parts of it since my first listen. Black Dog is a track that needs no introduction, classic song from, to me, the best Zeppelin album. The third track, Empire, kept the nice momentum of the mixtape going; I really appreciated the political/social message of this tune. It’s an another song I hadn’t heard before but it was really memorable to me because of how paradoxical it is lol. What I mean by this is: there’s this powerful RATM-esque message here that is laid out via these power-metal vocals that remind me of a number of slightly cheesy bands that stick to more high fantasy, fiction material.

For example :
Just a lil connection I made that might not resonate with everyone.

Christian Woman was an interesting song. I like how it’s written; concise but powerful, especially when paired with the instrumental that does just enough to make the themes pop. Only gripe I have is the vocals but that is down to preference. Albatross kinda sounded like an early Audioslave song to me, I enjoyed it for what it is. Very nice transition into the Bush song, one of my favorites on this tape. I like how muddy it sounds lol, definitely a fire cut. Seeing Get Back on here had me thinking for a moment that this man chose the Beatles song,lol. This one definitely works better on here than the fab 4 one would lmao. She has a great voice and I really like the grungey vibes. As for Louie Louie, I must confess that I’ve never been a big Motörhead fan, thus this was a song that I enjoyed quite less than the others. True Belief is a song that I’m sure will grow on me more in the future due to the singer’s voice. Some of the hard-rock vocal styles take me a while to get used to. The music on the track is great, though! Doctor Doctor is a song I’ve definitely heard in the past but can’t for the life of me remember when or where. Great, energetic tune that I saved for future listening, especially in the car. The Tiamat song was okay, I liked the different sections of it and how it was structured all together. Although it did not really come close to Black Lodge for me, which is a song I’ve grown to really love during my time with this mixtape, it introduced me to a band I’ve never really heard of before. Say Just Words is, to me, the better one out of the two Paradise Lost songs. I love the pacing on it and the singing sounds a lot more convincing. It is also a great cut to start finishing up the mixtape with. It is followed by a great Maiden song. I loved the instrumental here! More laid back than some of the other Iron Maiden tracks I’ve heard. This cut was tasteful both sonically and lyrically, some very nice existential themes here. Huge props for ending the mixtape with Sonic Youth and Joy Division - some of my favorite bands ever. These tracks, along with the Maiden song, gave the mixtape a kind of ‘dreamy’ ending. I like the decision to end a hard hitting mixtape with some pensive, almost meditative tunes. Really gave the whole thing a touch of class.

It may be a bit obvious that I’m kind of out of my depth here. I’m not too familiar with most of these songs, bands, or genres. (hence I’m thankful to have an opportunity to change that by listening to a cool mix like this). I’ll conclude my yaps by thanking @Wreckless for the tape and yeah.

8.5/10

Yours come first so you got 7-8 weeks of stroking my ego if you want a good score

 

Mar 29, 2025

Expect low scores from me

 

Mar 29, 2025

Glad you liked it! I appreciate hearing your thoughts

I'm kind of bummed out I got no s--- to listen to this week lol

 

Mar 26, 2025

Would be interesting. Jpeg is an insanely productive artist, man. I loved Scaring the Hoes as well. Can’t forget about LP! either.

I still bump this one

Wreckless tape looks like a 10 on paper. I think its going to be a high scoring round for everyone if we base it on individual song quality. There are millions of classics to choose from.

I see you have already chosen a song from an artist (UFO) I was thinking of putting on the next project in the Big Monkey Trilogy, which I will penalise you for.

I forgot to mention OPM BABI is f---ing hilarious

 

Mar 23, 2025

Gramps is back with a vengeance on this mixtape, can already tell I'm gonna really enjoy this

 

Mar 23, 2025

Title alone got me hooked, can’t wait to dive in this week
