Pretty large improvement from CITYFADE; mainly my issues are in the entire video part. I get the whole gimmick of the part is a long droll with a (well done) gimmick but the repetitive pillar structuring with callbacks that unfortunately don't aid the song rep in any way feels like a bit of a compromise to make the gimmick easier to build which is, in fairness, not bad of a trade...? It's definitely not that the pillar structuring comes out of nowhere -- the first part uses them too -- but I just find their use tacky throughout, what with them being unsupported by any surrounding structures and all. The drop and everything before the middle is ridiculous though, no qualms about that mostly -- single-handedly makes up for most of the issues beforehand.
Now that I think about it there is also a really blatant disconnect between the lyrics and the level. Nornally lyrics doing this is not an issue but the captions, while neat otherwise also make it much more obvious...
If you're not intimately familiar with a song and you still notice that the song rep is not fantastic is that valid or not. I don't really like how literally MaxxoRMeN took the theming of the song and translated to the level- it’s kind of like when you really like a song but you can’t really articulate what you like about it if that makes sense.
Otherwise this level is pretty good, I think the decoration looks very pretty and I admire being a bit uncompromising by just having one really long part in the middle, but idk I just don't feel very strongly about this one similar to how I didn't really latch onto CITYFADE that strongly. I'd definitely love to see perspectives from more die-hard fans of the song though
