Apr 2, 2025 at 7:52 AM Yeez - When The Blood Burns… Favorites: La Grasa de las Capitales, Tell Me When You Need It Again Pts 1 & 2, A Tear for Eddie (mmm boobz), Eternal Life, Babylon, The Voice of Love RIPPER ROO’S RATING: 8/10 Let me just get the negatives out of the way right off the bat: Fun House, Waves of Fear, and El borrego just didn’t fully connect with me. They are still good songs but for some reason I just didn’t like them as much as the other songs. On El borrego I wasn’t the biggest fan of the vocal effect. Now onto the positives: I like the usage of instrumental tracks on this mixtape. Silver Morning, A Tear for Eddie, and The Voice of Love are all great tracks despite having no vocals. And with that, the tape starts and ends beautifully. Silver Morning sets the tone with a really unique atmosphere. The Voice of Love is unsettling yet hopeful at the same time and is my most listened to track on the tape. To close out the review, I’ll talk about some other tracks I feel are worth highlighting. La Grasa de las Capitales is probably the best Spanish song I’ve ever heard and is pure ADHD in song format. That song went all sorts of unexpected places. Tell Me When You Need It Again Pts 1 & 2 is just amazing. The passion of Jeff Buckley’s vocals on Eternal Life is really captivating. Babylon is classic Outkast. This is a great tape that has some variety @AOTWClub
Apr 2, 2025 at 12:07 PM I'm glad you enjoyed it!!! When I was finalizing the tracklist, I thought Grasa de las Capitales would be the most divisive, so it's definitely a bit surprising to see that El borrego has been more mixed.
Apr 2, 2025 at 12:12 PM Over time, I slowly started changing the tape to the point that like 75% of the tracks that made it to the end were later additions. These might not be all of them, but these are some of the ones that were on the tape at some point - One of These Days - Pink Floyd - Dirt - Stooges - Karmacoma - Massive Attack - The Same Deep Water As You - The Cure - Ptolemy - Aphex Twin - Ice Cream Man - Tom Waits - The Kindness of Strangers - Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - Heaven Beside You - Alice in Chains
