The song is just way too slow and there is no crunch to it. Its just so bland. Although many of the intro shots in Tocantins looked awesome. I felt the whole video was bland. i loved the rain shots though.nate1989 wrote:
I have a feeling it'll be EPIC! the past few seasons havnt been the best so now i think he will shock us and give us something epic!
Tocantins has recently become one of my favorites. I just love the happy, uplifting vibe of the whole cast intro. The flickering/dancing flashes of the tribe names, the super slo mo cast shots, Taj's look of concern backed by an echoey "scream," Debbie's heroic birdlike shot, how Brendan's eyes lock onto the camera... and everyone else looks great too... very epic facial shots from Spencer, J.T., Erinn, Coach, Sierra and Candace. :)
Samoa is another theme I don't like. I don't hate it like I do Tocantins, but I don't like it either. It just sounds way to similar to Tocantins and it was also slow. My personal favorite in recent seasons have been Micronesia: fast, a lot of beats. intro shots of castaways were awesome, "39" days coconut awesome. and it just had a much more tropical feel to it.
I just hope the new theme+intro is good. Damn it , I hope Russell doesn't use anything from Gabon, Tocantins, or Samoa. I have a feeling he will though
