TC_Halogen - 6/10
- this chart is extremely frustrating to judge
- it’s structurally “better” than the counterpart submission in a number of spots, but the lack of restraint in a number of areas makes it difficult to enjoy; it feels so overaggressive in numerous spots
- 46.876/2:30.455/etc: extremely jarring; adding minijacks makes sense from a technical standpoint with respect to the synth echo but it’s too aggressive of a pattern at this speed
- 49.403/etc: what’s the purpose for the sudden influx of jump-gluts here? it is most certainly not because of background snares if i’m hearing properly, but there’s nothing else really discernible beyond the melody which can definitely be represented more effectively
- in general, has some noticeable structural accuracies, potentially to the detriment of the playability; this version scored higher than the other chart submitted, but I personally enjoy it less

Wiosna - 6/10
32.666 - jesus fuck this is hard
47.113/47.429/47.745 - really not sure how i feel about these minijack collisions into triples given that the minijacks after make the triples quite pertinent as is
56.687/1:01.640 - these bursts seem way too much given how light the buzz here is.. the bursts before these were arguably too much too given how long they are. 24ths i think would be more appropriate, and the patterns in this have to be toned down quite a bit
57.729 - this 64th burst is pretty excessive given the sound it's going to
1:16.403 - the entry into the burst is pretty rude given the note on 4 before it, maybe too rude given how densely layered the burst is given the polyrhythm + jump
1:17.824 - should be similarly layered to 1:16.403
1:19.955 - not sure what this 32nd burst is going to

lots of 32nd bursts to lighter bass wobbles that i feel could be 24ths in general. not sure how i feel about the 48th walls either because i don't think the motion for that really fits this kind of timbre.

1:54.455 - this should definitely be more aggressively layered density-wise
1:55.403 - this might be too light to be layered as 32nds
1:57.297/1:57.376 - feel that it's a bit much to make these jumps given how most of the main layering comes from much more prominent elements like the melody
2:06.929 - should be a triple
2:20.508 - 3 distinct and separated syllables, shouldn't be straight 32nds

the rest of the chart repeats for the most part.

I do like the use of aggressive layering in the chart, though I can see a lot of people having reservation with this type of approach too. I think that it's most effective when it comes to the use of jacks or gluts, since the melody is so punchy and the chart does a good job in highlighting the punchiness of it.

That said, the aggressive approach can be overbearing if the timbre doesn't call for it, and I think it's extremely pertinent when it came to the bass wobbles. The bass wobbles are a lot lighter in comparison, and I don't think that it makes much sense for most of the bursts to be as hard as they are given that. Given that the bursts constitute a pretty good portion of the chart, it's hard to not feel as if the chart is jarring in those parts. There are also other similar issues like some difficulty spikes (primarily from 64th bursts), the 48th bursts not having a suitable timbre to justify 24th jumptrills, and parts that feel just a touch too heavy because you're layering very very quiet percussion, but I think the bursts that go to bass wobbles are by far the most egregious part of the chart.
