what does it take to create something special? you could get quirky and try to come up with something out of the box, but sometimes, simple yet effective things beautifully woven into one could be all it takes.
what i really like about this map is HW is really really good at controlling the energy of a map and it really shows here. when the song calls for a more impactful pattern, the map patiently builds up for it so it ends up being more effective. that doesn't just apply on a microscopic level, but also macroscopically too. this entire map in my eyes kinda builds up for the last part with a final powerful bang to storm at you, and it's delivered in an ever satisfying manner.
one of the first to ever do it, still one of the best to ever do it. unlike a lot of "tech" maps that came after, this map is actually so tastefully done and i wish more people took note from that.
i really don't get what people see in this map. it's not a bad map by any means, but it's a really, really plain map that doesn't try to do much at all. adding in a bit more spacing for the last kiai is a nice touch but ultimately this map just kinda coasts with ds'd patterns for the vast majority of the map. come on yall, grumd has better maps.
kinda of a rowdy song, and the mapper treats it with a bit of attitude and sass. it kinda throws a lot of ideas at you throughout the map, but that plays more as a strength rather than making it feel like an idea dump. nice fun map
i think the reason i like this map so much is because how of emotionally charged it is. (iirc from a pishifat video that features RLC) the map doesn't end up simply being a mediocre dnb map but rather a musical experience. RLC, in my eyes, really puts a good amount of care into how the patterns will play out with the music and he's really done a successful job on that. for such a long map to feel this tight is an achievement.
damn, i didn't remember this map very well and i thought it might be overhyped but hey this map actually lives up to the hype. this one hit pretty hard. i would have liked it a liiiiiiiiittle bit more if the band didn't go trancecore mode during the last kiai though like you are not fear loathing in las vegas what is u doing ðŸ˜
this map is still so cool. it introduced many fresh ideas in one complete package that hasn't dated a single bit. not just that, but unlike a lot of tech maps, this map actually feels like the mapper cared about gameplay experience that represents the music. i wish more people took note from that part of this map.
yea, this is a really good map that has some wild ideas. it's kinda a bummer that this is the highest rated nold map but i can get behind that since it's more accessible than most nold maps.
imma be honest i haven't played this map in a long time so my impression about this map was pretty faint and outdated, and i didn't go into it with much expectation, but i was pleasantly surprised. this map is delicate and it doesn't end up being too edgy, i feel like movement was very well considered in this map. while my favorite part is the guitar solo part where the map really goes off, chill parts you can still tell they were not inted, which i love to see. really good map.
Karen takes ideas from maps and makes them their own successfully and beautifully on this map. not a lot of maps from this era of mapping hit as hard as this does to this day.
pretty strictly tries to follow the song, but thanks to the design choices (fast sliders, small circles, for example) the map doesn't end up feeling too plain or anything like that. pretty enjoyable, nice map!
this is a pretty nice map. i don't think it's as good as people make it up to be, but it's still good. kudos for making something this hard and ALSO this good when there used to be not many good hard maps. this map set a good precedent i suppose.
maybe charles445 was right all along we are simply not hanzer, he just does his shit so properly
jokes aside, while i still believe Lan wings' Hades in the Heaven is what people think this map is, this map is still really good and deserves all the praise it gets. you can tell HanzeR really applied all the things he did with a lot of care, and even dares to add his own twist here and there. it's still aging beautifully, and i believe it will continue to.
this song calls for a map that goes off and Jounzan delivers what it deserves. Jounzan kinda does what he usually does but the map still doesn't really arbitrary at all, quite the opposite actually. some jumpscare spacing moments here and there but they still play well for what they are, so eh.
i see this map more as a stepping stone for RLC as a mapper after studying the blade of dksslqj, and his craft really did improve as the time went on. i believe why people loved this map so much was because this map still had some ideas that the community wasn't familiar with or simply were never seen before, and most importantly, visuals. i still feel this map is somewhat weak as a whole package, too much of it feels arbitrary even though it might look nice and well structured. moral of the story is why not stan anhedonia instead??????????????????
man, you can really FEEL that NatsumeRin did not want to waste a single pattern that he puts onto the screen. not much i can say other than that this map is a showcase of pure mastery, and to add it aged terrificly a decade later.
it's truly insane what tsuka could achieve in 2011. though not the entire map may have aged all that well to this day, it's still a striking showcase of brilliant ideas in its own right. personally i'm too much of a tsuka fan to rate this lower than 4.5 lol

my take on this map can be condensed into one simple sentence: you could make a whole textbook on how to map out of this map and this map only.

this is a pretty long and repetitive song but the map keeps it engaging. not much to say about it, it's just a good map.

nice map! Jounzan doing his thing as usual but it still felt proper. idk if it's #20 of all time good, though.
