@Michael Myers - Halloween: Revival of Michael Myers

review

The AOTWClub has been bestowed with a loosely thematic mixtape! I respect the effort. I’ll get right into my review by saying that the first track does a good job of setting the mood up and playing into the whole halloween idea. On its own I found it a bit bland though. The Watcher 2 is an instant classic and I loved hearing it here. Such a bumpable track! That beat is just great, classic Dre. I enjoyed the following Spineshank song, interesting how it simultaneously represents a Linkin Park ripoff (LP from the early 2000s), and everything LP would want to be nowadays but is pretty much failing miserably at (Cut the Bridge). Honestly From Zero, including this track, sounds like it was written by my adolescent nephew. I sadly disliked the following tracks from SZA, Miley, and J Balvin. Power is power is not a bad track but is just not my cup of tea. The Travis verse was the nail in the coffin here. Miley Cyrus has this weird vocal delivery I’m not that big on and the recycled pop-rock instrumental did not do her any favours either. Rio just did nothing for me over 4 listens. Body Talks is some Zara or H&M music and sounds like something Eminem would’ve sampled on the director’s cut of Revival.

I enjoyed the second leg of this mixtape a lot more than the first, I’d say. Hustler Musik is an undeniable classic, Wayne sounded so hungry back then. Fire song. The following song by the Sounds was good, I enjoyed it despite of the production sounding a tad cheesy at times - there was a lot of interesting ideas mixed in too; those saved the song for me. I somewhat like the Steppenwolf song too. My only gripe is that it sounded muddy as h---.


The song by Nena was easily one of my favorites. Great intro, buildup, vocals. It sounded very theatrical. From there on out, I enjoyed all 4 remaining songs. Smoke Like a Fire was a lyrical exercise over great, grimey production and La Respuesta was a proper b-----r which mentally took me to a beach party and poured me a shot of mezcal. Nothing to add about Evanescence, always love hearing this song. Classic. The Demi Lovato song closes the mixtape out. I’ll be d---ed; I did not recognize her game before, she went hard as f--- on Still Alive.

6/10

Im feeling lots of feelings right now. I dont want to sound cliche or anything but I just turned 18 few months ago. When i turned 18, it felt like it was the end of my childhood. In two weeks im off to college to live on my own for the first time.

This album couldn't come at a more perfect time. I grew up on Dr Dre's sound. ( Eminem, 50 cent, The Game, etc) I feel like this album will close the lid on my childhood. Its kinda sad when I think about. I hate growing up. Can't wait for this album

I don't care if it's a classic or not. I don't care if he revolutionizes hip-hop or not. I'm just happy we're getting new Dre bangers I can listen to.

It went from ‘I wish he’d talk about current events, all his references are dated’ to ‘how dare he speak about current events’
