    I'm actually trying to manipulate you guys to put less known songs so I can save the classics for my self

    Btw I was surprised by the comment regarding picking classics as I figured nothing besides Black Dog on my mixtape was mainstream.

    Even with Motorhead, Louie Louie probably wouldn't crack their top 15.

    I guess there a few mildly popular ones though like Christian Woman but for the most part I made an effort to go with relatively unknown songs.

    I think we shouldn't be too self concious about it unless you're going out of your way to building your mixtape using only popular bands and songs.

    :dwight:

    I will have to dock you some points for picking Mainstream artists Outcast and R.E.M.

    Seriously, i'm really looking forward to hearing this mixtape lol. I've never heard of 95% of these artists.

    This is why I’m not finalizing my tracklist until at least the week before my turn

    Wreckless - Born to Boomer

    Aight lets gooo

    Princess of the Night - g.d. what an opening. This is exactly the type of rock music I like. It's energetic, great vocals (no screaming), and obviously a fantasic piece of music. 10/10

    Black Dog - I know this song. Another fantastic one, Robert has such a great voice. Yeah can't give anything less than a 10/10 again.

    Empire - bro did u just see my exact taste in rock music when u made this?? 10/10

    Christian Woman - almost feels like I'm being negative here but I just like this one a little less than the others so far. I guess the (low) voice doesn't really click with me. 8/10

    Albatross - another b-----r! It doesn't have the same effect on me as the first 3 tracks though. 8,5/10

    Everything Zen - the british accent is not exactly my thing, but it's a great song nontheless. 8/10

    Get Back - nice to hear a womans voice on here! Never heard of this band, she's really good. Nice song. 8.5/10

    Louie Louie - yeah this one I know, and already liked a lot. Great pick, Motörhead is dope. 9/10

    True Belief - yeah these kind of vocals are not really my thing. Which isn't in any way criticism, just personal. Instrumental is dope as f--- though. 7.5/10

    Doctor Doctor - this is so catchy. Never heard of UFO and this song, another nice surprise. 9/10

    Whatever that Hurts - same as True Belief, the vocals are not exactly my thing. But that intro was so dope man! 8/10

    Black Lodge - I dunno why but it reminds me a little of Alice in Chains. In a good way though, I like it. 8/10

    Say Just Words - yeah this is my s--- again. A little more 'upbeat' for lack of a better word. The instrumental during the chorus is so catchy. 10/10

    No Prayer for the Dying - glad this album ends the level it started, this song I know and it's perfect. 10/10

    Dirty Boots - coming after IM is kind of a bummer lol. It's nice though. 8/10

    New Dawn Fades - it's a little too 'slow' for my taste, but it's good. Solid ending to a solid tape! 7/10

    This was so much fun! I added 8 songs to my personal playlist, so lots of new s--- for me. Which is kinda the main goal of this club.

    Average score; 8.8/10

    @DKC mentioned earlier that (obviously) S80 is mostly a rap forum, but this past year in this group I heard more new -non rap- songs than all the years on SL/S80 combined!

    Thanks Wreckless, setting the bar high for all of us! @AOTWClub

    This review is gonna be a bit shorter than usual, since most of my thoughts correlate with what other members have said. Lots of classic tracks and they're mostly great. I wasn't really a fan of the Paradise Lost songs and the Tiamat track which brings my score down a bit, but I loved this tape a lot for the most part. Big thanks to @Wreckless for the tape.
    Favorite Tracks: Black Dog, Christian Woman, Get Back, Dirty Boots, New Dawn Fades

    RIPPER ROO’S RATING: 10/10!!!!

    Wreckless went from having the lowest mixtape rating to having the highest next round. Truly an inspiring redemption arc. As I kept going down the tracklist, I was really wondering if there would be a song I didn’t like and that song never came. There were songs I didn’t like as much at first but they won me over by the end. There’s lots of amazing instrumentation throughout this tape along with creative song structures. I have no complaints and am forced to give this a 10/10.

    Out of all the songs here I’ve only previously heard Black Dog, Louie Louie, and Doctor Doctor. Black Dog and Doctor Doctor in particular I have heard a lot over the years due to my grandparents playing older music when I grew up. Plus, a lot of gyms I’ve went to also play this type of music. I have appreciation for these older eras of music, I just haven’t delved into them as deeply yet as I have with more modern music. When it comes to my tape I wanna try to do some research.

    This tape opens and ends beautifully with Princess of the Night being a b-----r and New Dawn Fades being a creative track that really does have that feeling of a closing track when it’s in this context. While I liked all the songs here, the biggest highlight for me is Get Back. Maybe it’s because it’s the only song with a female lead vocalist that I recall but I also sense some energy that has inadvertently inspired some of my favorite artists today.

    The website is glitching and crashing as I type this so I’m not gonna yap on much longer lmao. Incredible tape here. I know I’ve given a lot of 10/10s with these tapes at this point but this has to be one of the best @AOTWClub

    I think I got all my songs for my mixtape barring one or two changes that might happen for the sake of consistency, now the challenge is to make the sequencing work at all lmao.

    I think my tape might be a lot of new stuff for the zoomers in the group but I expect everyone pushing like 30 to know most of the songs here

    I thought it was pretty funny when I saw some people call this a woke LGBT logo. They were definitely trolling.
