Alright alright alright! Apparently I can't start giving out A+s all over the place for mix tapes. You balked, I listened. So here we go, a true evaluation, NOT graded on a curve. I'll go through the songs 1 by 1 and then give an overall grade. Sorry, Everett.
Side A, IN CASE OF PEEL OUTS
1) Wagner - Ride of the Valkyries. All I have to say is it is such a pain in the ass to fast forward through this song. No one put it on another mix tape for me. This song belongs in a Ford Focus, maybe, but not a TA. Get with the program! F
2) Motley Crue - Girls Girls Girls. Great jam. Better than the 1st song on this side. Yes, it makes me want to do peel outs b/c it is Motley Crue, but since I AM a girl, I maybe would have chosen another. B+
3) Motley Crue - Kickstart My Heart. NOW we're talkin'. However, this violates the mixtape cardinal rule - No two songs from the same band should be in a row. Hey, don't shoot the messenger. I didn't make this $h!t up. Blame it on a bunch of middle schoolers with pimples and 12 sided die who have nothing better to do. A
4) Bang Camaro - Push Push Lady Lightning. Good choice. Not my favorite song, but appropriately rockin'. B+
5) Led Zeppelin - Rock And Roll. Love Zeppelin. A-
6) AC/DC - Big Balls. Why yes, I do have some. A
7) Bang Camaro - Swallow the Razor. Good. B
8) Motley Crue - Shout At the Devil. Totally TA. A
9) Slayer - Raining Blood. A- Ok, yell at me for giving Slayer an A-. I know some of you want to.
10) AC/DC - Thunderstruck. I love this song in this car. A
11) Bang Camaro - Out on the Streets Not the hugest Bang Camaro fan. C
12) Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast B+
13) AC/DC - Big Gun. B
The amount of good 80's hair metal, appropriate for burning out to, picked up where the other ones fell flat. Side A average: B
Side B, IN CASE OF ZOMBIES
1) Sum 41 - Intro To Destruction. OK, the song is alright, but since only people who shop at Hot Topic listen to sum 41, I'm going to give this song a C.
2) Gaslight Anthem - We're Getting a Divorce and You Can Keep the Diner. Not very zombierific, but I like Gaslight Anthem alright. B+
3) At The Drive In - Pattern Against the User. A+. I love this song and it makes me want to kick some zombie butt.
4) Coheed and Cambria - Ten Speed of God's Blood. These guys rock. A
5) Sum 41 - Grab the Devil by the horns and f*ck Him in the @ss. Wow!!! I feel dirty just typing that title. Not sure how I feel overall. I think I need a shower. B-
6) Rage Against the Machine - Killing In The Name Of. Great zombie killing song. A
7) Coheed and Cambria - Devil in Jersey City. A
8) Andrew WK - Party Hard. OK, I will! Ha! This song is super fun. A
9) Sum 41 - Ride the Chariot the the Devil. Wow, Sum 41, you guys should really see someone. Your song titles are starting to scare me! Do you title your songs so tough because your skinny jeans make you look like pussies? B-
10) Saves the Day - Collision B+ I love love love Saves The Day, but not quite for outrunning zombies. Maybe for making out or crying on top of my car in a parking lot, though.
11) Sum 41 - Pain for Pleasure. B
12) Rage Against the Machine - Sleep Now in the Fire A. No brainer.
13) At The Drive In - Enfilade A-
14) Andrew WK - Ready to Die B+. I like his other song better. He gets annoying after a while but good to kick some zombies in the faces with.
15) Coheed - Junesong Provision A-
16) At The Drive In - One Armed Scissor. One of my favorite songs for general @ss kicking. A+
Side B average: A-.
Happy now, people?
Nice write up(s) and what a crazy mix. It's all over the place. Isn't it some kind of mortal sin to put Slayer and Sum 41 on the same plane of existence? Haha... I applaud the effort though, making mix tapes is hard work. Only wish there was more artwork to look at. Zombie-Firebird slaughter sounds awesome.
