- Perms, sync good.
** Folder contains a background image & background is filled out in metadata. Please remove.

- A lot of the patterning and layering choices in this chart are beyond unreasonable. For that reason this review will be focused on playability, setting technical concerns aside unless they're pretty blatant.

- 11.900: Should be on the next 16th.
- 13.200: Ghost note.
- 14.960: A short, static shrill tone like this absolutely does not warrant a 500bpm one-handed minitrill. A simple colour note (or perhaps colour jump) would be reasonable.
- 15.440: This is just a 16th melody on top of the usual 32nd trill pattern you've been using. Follow both of those elements, don't dump 48ths.
- 15.920: 8ths, not 12ths.
- 21.200: Watch column 4 bias.
- 23.360: Fits better as a single note than a hand since it has neither the snare nor the crash.
- 25.400, 25.880, etc.: Why are these hands?
- 27.200-27.680: This is really excessive for the sound.
- 30.560: Should be a 16th minijack, not a 24th, since the repeated sound is the drum and that lies on the 16th.
- 33.080: This is one guitar note and does not warrant a 250bpm minijack.
- 33.920: Completely unwarranted 375bpm one-handed minitrill.
- 35.120: Your use of hands to the hi-hats (already pretty excessive & happens frequently in the chart) forces lots of jacks that don't actually exist here. For example, 35.600 should be a 3-note jack starting from the 16th & 36.080 is just not a jack.
- 37.160, 41.000, 41.720, etc.: Ghost note.
- 48.320: This goes from guitar+drum to just guitar, but upgrades from singles to jumps. Similar note at 49.280.
- 50.480 section: You sure you just wanna do jumptrills here? They work, but they're about the least interesting thing you could do with this section, particuarly considering the guitar melody that comes in at 58.160.
- 51.520, 53.440, etc.: No reason these flams need to be jumps. The 24th minijacks also need to go.
- 68.360, 70.280, etc.: No drum, shouldn't be jump.
- 77.840: You arbitrarily switch from jumptrill patterns to glut patterns here. Make it consistent.
- 81.920: Similar note as above, but a random 3-note jack instead.
** 83.120 section, and all others like it: These 24th minijacks have to go. Layer these less harshly, omit the first 24th after the hand, whatever, but these just don't make sense.
- 94.640-98.480: This section is nicely done.
- 118.880: Missing note.
- 124.160: Small detail in the grand scheme of things, but this jack pattern is a bit unnecessarily difficult given the sound.
- 139.760: This sound is pretty abrasive, so the jack pattern you have could definitely be argued, but I'd still prefer if it were two-handed to avoid awkwardness.
- 141.200: Another example of overlayering--these jacks are incredibly awkward because of the hands to this sound, but this sound alone really just warrants singles, not hands. Honestly it would even be reasonable to omit it entirely.
- 155.720: What is this 24th/32nd poly for?
- 161.840: Doesn't have the snare you're following with a [14] jack, yet is on columns 1 & 4 both.
- 171.440: The minijacks in this should probably just be one-hand trills.
- 175.760: This jump and the next hand go to the same sound. Could argue a 24th single to guitar at 175.840, but that's about it. Certainly no need for another minijack on the right hand after all that came before. Similar comment at 178.560, 180.080, etc. (Pretty much any minijack that's not one of the anchored ones here doesn't actually exist.) It would also be a good idea to switch columns a bit more.
- 205.760-207.920: Most of these minijacks aren't technically correct.
- 229.040-241.840: This section is pretty fun.
- 243.740: Can't hear a note here, let alone a minijack. Same at 244.540--there is room for a flam there, but there's also room at 246.640 and you don't mark that at all, so I'm going to assume that's separate.
