Champ match! For all the marbles... looking forward to this.
Clutbuck - Well this was unexpected lol. I didnt know what you were going to do with this topic but I couldnt have predicted this... and I actually dont mind it. It seems you took the topic literally and at face value (which is actually preferable to what you did last week) and I enjoyed reading all those facts about the moon's density and rocket propulsion etc... It was like a rocket scientist speaking to their child and forgetting to dumb things down lol. In fact, that's probably EXACTLY what this was haha...
I liked this section here near the end:
"See space is a vacuum, but not the kind your mother uses,
you’ll find it’s sucked your tool kit to beyond by the time you’ve put the screws in.
Ever tried constructing units in interplanetary spaces?
The microgravity you’re faced with means simple tasks can take you ages"
There were some negatives though technically... some awkward wording here and there (maybe it's just how I read it though). I still got your point but more editing would have cleaned this up nicely. Overall though, I enjoyed this, Lars. Good work.
Adverse - Another banger here from Mr. Adverse, but not without it's minor flaws. First off, the way you describe things is tantamount to watching a movie. It's so vivid... I can picture what you're getting across without any effort. This is the mark of a good writer. Some of these lines were just butter to read, my friend... so smooth.
My favorite section:
"Gluttonous by nature, no one is spared in our*way
Repainting lush forest greenery the browns and greys of barren decay
Carnivorous scavengers, surgically picking every piece from the corpses
Leave into orbit, find our next home, ping in the coordinates
Rinse and repeat, it's been decades of singing this chorus*
I hardly think about the desolation we were causing, there was no reason before this.."
Like God damnit man! This was just a beautifully crafted few bars here that really drew me in. That said, as good as your lines were, I also felt some were ruined by an overly long flow at points. Like every line was solid, but some just felt a little bloated for my taste. Maybe a little too descriptive... whatever it was, the flow just seemed long-winded at times.
Oh and I really liked your ending with the crash landing... you made Eartth seem like an alien planet after spending some time with our alien friend, bravo. And cool quote too to finish things off. (Also you mentioned my name in your verse so you get bonus points lol jk)
Great battle guys. Worthy of a champ match for sure. I gotta go with what I predicted from the beginning though... And New...
Vote - Adverse
