This map is essentially a meta top player bait map, as it links to the thematic ideas of Whiplash (the film that this song comes from) by mirroring the drum solo where the main character pushes himself to the max with highly difficult gameplay that pushes the player to the max. Through this it links high level osu play to performance art, and the idea that Whiplash explores of performance art encouraging hurtful obsession. This leaves the playing of the map as an essential part of the map in a pretty interesting way, and makes the map 'about' osu.
I think there was a script used to randomize note placement in top dif, but at the same I cant stop seeing patterns. An exploration of human pattern seeking tendencies in beatmap form?
anyways I think alot of the differences of opinion on this map are people viewing it as a map to be played vs people viewing it as a visualization. Personally i view it as a the latter, but it's not very obvious which is the intention.
there's multiple people saying this is the wrong song to make this map with, but in my eyes this is very much the right song. the stable rhythm makes the rubato improvisation easy to notice, and the strong melodies on top of the rhythm gives frakturehawkens something easy to base his improvisation on.
you can still critique the map through the comments, you just cant give it a score (which is a pretty useless form of critque since you cant say anything of substance through it)
I do think there are less low bpm jumps being ranked nowdays than their used to be, so that is also a part of the problems, but they do still exist, yet they dont gain any traction.
Unfortunelty the current ecosystem of map discovery for most players is centred around either overweighted maps what top players are playing. Therefore low bpm jumps, a type of map that I would consider to be generally more enjoyable than standard hard difs, are rarely in the spotlight since they are almost always found on sets with a top dif below 4.5 stars. The exception to this being low bpm dt farm map, but even those seem to not become popular in the past few years (all of the moat popular maps of this type are from the 2010s). Because of this, new players, who have little concern for map quality, coalesce onto any of these types of maps they can find, a popular example being this map here.
I think some of you are being too mean in the comments.. critism is good but just saying it sucks and nothing else is unnecessary. I would like for this site to have decent rep in the community and this doesnt help.
I underatand that this represents a larger movement in mapping, and shitting on that is fine if you dont like it, but a single map made by one guy is different to that.
or maybe its this is how we walk on the moon... tough choice. either way I like newer dsco maps compared to his older stuff which seems to get more attention

its 8 stars get a grip

well said
reading Luminiscental mention the od being 0 is making me lean more towards it being meant to be played though...

specifically choosing the white skin version of an emoji is crazy

Whazzup
"we dont need a leaderboard on this" people are going to compete for leaderboard spots on this, so I disagree
Their weightings are deweighted because of their... unorthodox rating methodology
