- 0:00.550, 0:01.750, ect. I'm surprised you didn't include these little guitar flourishes.

- 0:04.450 I find it interesting you chose not to use jumps for these snares despite using them elsewhere, like at 0:09.025

- 0:49.087 not a fan of the back to back minijack here. I think i would rather see 1 long jack or a trill or something instead.

- 0:50.708 It sounds to me like you're only charting the left guitar here, which is an odd choice. I think it would make more sense to follow both guitars instead especially since you have a few right guitar notes like 0:55.168. My ears focus in on the right guitar so I have a harder time following what the notes are going to. I also just think following both would give a better idea of the chaos of the section.

- 1:11.249 I dont think this dump stream is a great idea. First, this is the only time any sort of dumping is used. Other similar vocals exist throughout the chart, but this being the only time its dumped makes it off putting. As a player this is the kind of thing that would make me quit a chart and not want to play it. Second, The 16ths overlap the guitar 12ths, making you *think* thats what the streams are for, but they continue after notes stop at 1:12.330. I think its just a bit too subtle, and a bit too inconsistent to be good to include.

- 1:15.573 I'm not a huge fan of the color theory usage here. I get the idea, but i think it might be a bit to subtle for players for the increased reading difficulty. I'd be more accepting of it if it only followed the word "frozen" like at 1:24.222, but im still not a huge fan.

- 1:57.766 see earlier notes

- 2:44.065 For visual clarity, i think it would be better to move this note to 1, and the jump to [24]. I feel this patterning does a better job highlighting the 323 232 visually.

A good fun chart as expected. I really just feel that the dump section should be removed. While it makes sense within the context of your other gdg charts, i just dont think it makes much sense in the context of THIS chart. In order for its inclusion to make sense in my eyes, I feel more sections of the song would need dumping.

PERMS OK
SYNC OK

5.650: Missing note. Yes it's not as clear in the subsequent iterations (like at 15.250, although probably still worth adding), but this one is really hard to ignore.

52.465 & 56.789 & 1:01.114 & 1:05.438: These 16ths are a bit odd since the left panned guitar voicing doesn't seem to have a note there and the right panned one isn't layered at all. For consistency, I'd suggest removing them. Since the section is already quite toned down, I'd suggest trying to keep the vocals layered in with jumps when mixed with other layered stuff.

1:11.249-1:13.141: Hmmm this doesn't really work. Not only does it completely lose the (still prominent) 24ths motif from the guitar which is still layered according to some 8ths in the section, it comes out of seemingly nowhere given that there are many other "long vocal notes" prior to it that don't get this abstraction treatment. It's not a dealbreaker but it's honestly not intuitive at all. I have a suggestion I can send over.

2:03.091: Same as 5.650. Then 2:12.691 is the same more quiet version just like 15.250.

This is a super fun chart to play. There's really not much that hinders the playability at all and multiple sections have their own unique challenge. The main concern is 100% that 16ths abstractions conflicting with the guitar on the "non frozen" vocals lol; it just misses the mark and feels out of place, even if somewhat justifiable I guess. That being said, given that the section is short and the rest of the chart slaps, it's no big deal. Good stuff.

Judge Score: 8.50 - Accepted
