Pretty cool sounding song, I had to cut a decent chunk off of it though, but it's super unique.

There is some color theory to the vocals in the middle, I purposefully omited most color theory in the jumpstream section, because I feel it would make it super hard to read.

The ending has some colored hands, but they serve a purpose and are very isolated.

- Perms, sync, metadata good.

** 3.705-7.134: These jacks place way more emphasis on the sound than it deserves, especially considering you omit other sounds in the section like 10.830, 11.687 etc. If you want to keep jacks here, reduce them to 2-note minijacks.
** 17.419-20.848: Same as previous note, but important enough to mention twice because here they're indistinct enough that it's difficult to tell there are even three different sounds when listening on full speed.
- 34.991, 35.848, etc.: Missing jumps. (It appears you removed these to make room for the following 8th jump since they come back at 38.419 once those disappear, but I don't think that's necessary personally.)
- 39.815-40.133: Suggest removing these five notes--while the sounds are there, removing them maintains consistency with the jumpstream section.
- 42.062, 42.919, 43.777: Strictly speaking, these three should be cyan, corresponding to the third syllable of "o-dys-sey".
- 51.598, 65.312, etc.: Seeing as this is decidedly faster than the 32nd triplet before it, I might follow this with a 4-note 48th roll and omit the jump on the beat.
- 58.358: Just like at 57.851, there's a flam here. (I also feel like there's some rather more interesting PR going on with these green notes than just a trill.)
- 60.491: These minijacks feel a little slower than 16ths to me... it's kind of hard to discern the actual rhythm here though, and what you have is fine.
- 89.419-116.848: This section is wonderful.
- 120.277-end: There's a bit too much going on with colour theory here imo. Cyan to the piano is fine, colouring the vocals is fine, doing both at the same time is a biiiit too busy for my tastes. There are also some small inconsistencies in how you use them; for instance, under your current scheme 129.704 should be a cyan-white jump.
- 124.455: Ghost note.
- 125.205: Shouldn't be a minijack.

- I really liked your repetition motif and thought it was very well executed. Colour theory is handled a bit more aggressively than I'd usually prefer, but it's well done (outside the last 10 seconds, at least). The 3-note jacks in the intro are a pretty egregious mismatch between chart intensity and music intensity though--I'd go as far as to say they're the hardest part of the chart, which... really doesn't fit with what the song is doing there. CQ on those jacks. [8/10 CQ]

Amount of colored notes significantly turned down, some patterns simplified as per Pizza's notes and I gave some of the jumpstream sections a brush over.
