Apologies for the delays. A large number of unexpected circumstances came up suddenly and without warning yesterday and today, both in the world of Line Rider and in my personal life, which needed to be prioritized over getting this poll up on time. Good news is I don't anticipate any more delays for the remainder of the tournament.

Re: Round #5 - Poll #8
Wow, gotta say after watching Eden 2, Explosivo felt a bit underwhelming, so it gmv.

Re: Round #5 - Poll #8
tbh explosivo was executed better because it did music sync better
but I still enjoy eden 2 more. the parts that didn't music sync didn't bother me that much because it was still acceptable.
also i cant believe it took me 3 years for me to understand the message at the end of eden 2 (well i just discovered an interpretation)
"take mine, off" it's not just a literal interpretation of the lyrics. the entire time, the track makes bosh do all these tricks while keeping him on the sled bc we value flashy powerful tricks. and at the end, the track is like "okay enough with doing that stuff" and just knocks bosh off in protest

Re: Round #5 - Poll #8
Had to go for Explosivo in the end, because of its flawless execution and for how ahead of its time it is. Both tracks are absolutely fantastic though.

Re: Round #5 - Poll #8
My thoughts in rounds 1-4:
Explosivo is more solidly executed but Eden 2 is more evocative. IMO Eden 2 is vastly better, because of the numerous moments that are visceral, powerful, and fitting. Eden 2 is the best example we have today of quirk being a vehicle for art with a message.

- Eden 2 (√ √ √ √)Not all of it works IMO (the start, and then the section with the chorus of kids) but other bits... they don't just work, they're like, POWERFUL. Emotionally. For a non-quirker. That's a feat. And then the ending is incredible, not just because it works with the song, but because it reminds everyone that Bosh can actually fall off the sled.FUCK YEAH. What a track. Doesn't get old. There are some weak spots but so many other beautiful, emotionally powerful moments more than make up for them.Easily my favorite track in this poll. There are plenty of flaws but there are so many moments that are just so visceral (my new favorite word): "he just wanted to JUMP SHOT" "look at me, I'm a cool kid" "I listened to what that SWOOSH SAID" "if it POPS" "PHIL KNIGHT TRICKED US ALL" and of course the incredibly perfect ending. 1) the sync with "off" implying offsled 2) the emotional release from watching him fall off with the resigned emotion in last word of the song 3) how it serves as a reminder that Bosh CAN in fact fall off the sled and everything you've seen has been done with that possibility looming over every frame. YES.
Explosivo (X √ √ √)Best track in the poll for me, hands down. It has poorly executed moments but it packs so much emotional punch with some awesome syncs, and the ending gets me every time.Some really good syncs and solid execution but it's mostly just a speedy manuquirk in my eyes.I'm such a reluctant fan of this track It's grown on me. But I can't deny that while I'm not a huge fan of the intention of the track the execution is rock solid and that's become a bigger and bigger portion of what gets votes from me as I watch all these tracks. GMV this round even though it didn't last round, haha.I wasn't thinking I would vote for this track this round, but the rock-solid execution really stands out among this group of tracks, most of which are unplanned and do-whatever. I'm a fan of tracks with clear vision and execution.This feels really weird to not vote for a track the first round, and then to vote for it every round after. It was really difficult for me to choose between this track and Catgroove, but it's just really solid overall and the ending is a lot better executed. I think I tend to discount this track at first due to the silly music (and it not really being my kind of humor) but then as I compare it closely with other tracks the solid execution really stands out.
Explosivo is more solidly executed but Eden 2 is more evocative. IMO Eden 2 is vastly better, because of the numerous moments that are visceral, powerful, and fitting. Eden 2 is the best example we have today of quirk being a vehicle for art with a message.
Re: Round #5 - Poll #8
It's funny how poll #8 should be the closest poll and poll #1 the easiest, yet poll #1 is the closest and this poll is won by a landslide

Re: Round #5 - Poll #8
explosivo has aged incredibly well, and everything in the track was done so intentionally. Eden however has a message where explosivo does not.
