Raging Warpath Dinner Piano (zaalseen) - 5.5/10
There are a few missing notes in the intro, probably due to o!m -> SM version, so please check for that. There are a couple of sync issues which cause chart drift overall, and it makes it very difficult to give precise notes on specific patterns. Pizza69 has provided certain corrections, but his corrections are incomplete (I've tried them as well), so you might have to fiddle with this on your own accord.

The first half of the chart is pretty chill overall and I didn't have that many issues with it. I have a few reservations with the first half regardless:

- I really didn't like some of the forced minijack to anchor patterns that seemed to be there for difficulty reasons. Parts like 18.210 I felt could be moved to [13] to avoid a lot of strain on column 4, and the minijack to [34] pattern at 21.570 seemed unnecessary overall.
- The burst also seem22.121 to 22.366 seems a bit overdone, this could probably be represented better as a slower burst (maybe 40ths or even 32nds) than what is currently present.
- 39.639 should probably be connected to the rest of the long jack in this pattern beacuse of pitch relevance.
- The anchor at 48.520 seems a bit forced, I'd suggest moving this note in particular to column 2. I'm also just not sure about where the 48th gallops are coming from in this section as well. I somewhat get that it goes to the echo, but the echo isn't really pronounced enough to justify a pattern like that, I feel.
- 53.971 is kinda cute, but honestly I think a faster burst would suffice rather than a trilly pattern like what you have.
- 1:05.670, 1:05.731, 1:06.160, 1:06.211 could all be doubles because of the bass kicks. There are a lot of these missing bass kicks that I feel could be doubles overall.
- 1:09.161 can be a faster burst.
- The 32nd triplets at 1:22.268, 1:22.513, etc. could be 40ths or 48ths, they seem underwhelmingly slow at the moment.
- Feels like there's a missing burst at 1:42.848.

The second half starting from 1:51.056 is actually where I have the bulk of my reservations: The chart spikes really really hard, and it goes from a pretty chill high 90 to low 100 to something close to about a low 11x. Some of the bursts are extremely difficult to hit due to the combination of burst speed and patterning in general (lots of hidden fast minijacks, lots of fast bursting), and it's hard to tell what most of these (64th, primarily) bursts are going to granularly. I think the chart drift also doesn't help things, so it's difficult to give specific notes.

The main issue is that the bursts seem super continuous in nature, but the sounds that you are layering pulsate between quiet to loud, yet the streams are almost completely constant. The 32nds also seem a lot more freeform here, and I'm not sure what's being followed here. There are also other small reservations like the male voice sample being layered in and forcing difficult anchory patterns that seem unnecessarily difficult, but that has less to do with the sample and more with how much you're layering in this chart to begin with. I think a lot of the 64th bursts in general could just be toned down to something much simpler, or at least more much broken up than what is present here.

The concept of a dumpy approach to an IDM song is really neat, and I can see that you've made certain efforts here, but I feel as if this song needs a bit more tact than what you've done overall. This chart feels quite uneven, and while the song itself can be a bit uneven, I don't think it justifies the difficulty curve that is present in the chart.

---------------------------
- Permission, metadata good.
** Sync is significantly early and has significant drift. Change offset -0.317 -> -0.336 and set the BPM to a constant 122.50. I'm not totally sure what the BPM shenanigans around 137.749 are for or how to recreate them with proper sync; you'll likely have to redo those entirely at the normal BPM.
** Please cut the song mp3 appropriately for the chart, there is quite a lot of empty space at the end.

So, this is a bit of an odd case due to the sync--ordinarily I would make the fixes on my end and give it a full review as normal with the new timestamps, but the sync issue is complex enough here that I don't feel comfortable doing so, and so I will stick to giving high-level feedback on the file.

** Some of the bursts are *really* spiky, especially towards the end of the file. This has to do in part with just being fast, but the patterns used are often pretty brutal as well. For instance:
--> Beginning 22.122 with an OHT is a bit tough, and the patterns don't really let up later either--it's all trills and minijacks here.
--> The burst at 109.586 is brutally left-hand biased. The column 2 bias alone is rough but then it keeps going.
--> Right hand bias at 111.056.
--> 126.736-127.226 is insanely tough patterning in general.
--> 143.391 is mostly just incredibly fast, this essentially 490bpm stream but with funkier shifted rhythms.

** The chart seems to have quite a few misrhythms as well. Some examples:
--> missing 16th jack rhythm starting at 27.757
--> 38.965 is a ghost note
--> I don't hear any 12ths at 43.437
--> 56.013 is done very differently from other instances of the sound (usually a speedup roll)
--> Missing notes at 67.324
--> Check 69.896 again
--> A lot of 32nd bursts in the interlude from 75.409 on are a lot more interesting than 32nds
etc. This note is likely to combine with the previous; make sure the big bursts make technical sense, and then nerf them if you need to.

- A fair few of the minijacks don't make too much sense, or seem a lot more awkward than they should be. 10.280, 18.120 shouldn't be minijacks at all; 21.570 fits as a minijack, but I don't understand the jump on the 8th and having it be one-handed is tremendously awkward; 54.155 should probably not be minijack; etc.

The file has coherent ideas, but needs substantial work in sync, technicality, and playability. [5/10]
