I'm Sorry Another emotional/tear-jerker family song, but I think this one lacked the punch of the other songs. "I'll never get to since you're gone' for instance was a bit too blunt, while "That I’m sorry that I was so cold" was clunky with the double "that's". Overall this was a little on the cheesy side - "I’ll never get to hear you say / You forgive me and that it’s okay / And that will haunt me to my grave" - but not a bad entry overall.
Overall I think this EP was a bit predictable in its content coming from you, but I think overall it was quite cohesive and well thought out.

Clown Hm, I really liked the concept and the intro, but I wasn't entirely blown away by anything. The chorus was pretty lackluster and the outro was quite weak. I think you had some witty moments in here to appreciate - see the second stanza of the second verse - and I liked the hints of psychosis in the bridge, but I wanted the darkness in this to be more visible.
Chocolate Pecans You do a wonderful job with tear jerker songs, and this was no exception. This was ripe with sentiment and emotion, and the concept was just so genuine. The development with your ages progressing was really well done as well. The only song this season that got me a bit choked up!
Overall I loved your presentation of this. I don't this EP was as cohesive as the others were - they were VERY explicit in their overall themes and content - but you still did a great job.

Suicide Blood Definitely a solid song that plays off of the strengths you found in El Labernito Del Fauno, but I think the styles were a bit too similar, especially since the subject matter was pretty similar. I think you could've use your lyrics to convey more of the story as opposed to leaving some of the narration to the movie. Still, quite a nice song.
Dear Brother I like what you were going for with this, but I don't think it does enough to develop off of the previous two songs, or separate it from the others as well. The language by this point has gotten a bit worn, as well as the concept. I wish you would've covered more of your bases spanning across the entire movie more evenly. Something like the brother joining her in hell might've been an interesting play as well. Not a bad song, but not killer either.
Overall While I think the content and concepts here were great, the story didn't move as fast or far as I would've liked. Still, I really liked what you did here conceptually.

The "Radar" of Platinum Hit.
and congratulations to everyone!
not a fan of that one. The “from the hell” line is intriguing but I would have liked to see it fleshed out a little better conceptually. This one seemed a little lazier than the last one and a little contrived to fit your storyline which I loved otherwise. Suicide Blood was definitely your best song from this trio.
