Just Lean started the trend of Strive Season 3 songs being INCREDIBLE. It was also the first song I was "actually" there for the announcement of. I joined a week or so before Asuka was added, but wasn't really invested enough to be excited about The Gravity. But in the time between Asuka and Johnny I was just getting to the point where I cared about the music. Though I wasn't as invested as I am now, it was still the first one I actively sought out leaks for.
Melody
Not as incredible as his previous songs but still quite good.
Evolution
A good evolution. It feels right.
Emotion
The end has a decent amount. The chorus too.
Bangerness
Have you HEARD the chorus?!?!?!?!
Characterization
I wish it had those... guitar riffs (? sorry I'm not good at music terminology) from Original Bet and Liquor Bar & Drunkard. They immediately make me think of Johnny and fit him perfectly. Just Lean still fits him though! It's really just a nitpick, they aren't necessary.
Lyrics
"The guy who was hated by the god of failure." is such a good line. I like all of the lyrics here.
