Beginning is EXTREMELY boring and repetitive. I understand the song is somewhat so itself, but you could have layered it to be both slightly easier, and more rhythmically interesting. 8 note 16th bursts for like a minute? Yeah, no. Beginning plays like a 10, middle is like an 8, then the ending is a 12. Relatively inconsistent.

Would've made a FAR better FA file (9 or 10) than a 12/13. File didn't seem fun at all; layering was once again, inconsistent. Some jumps seemed arbitrary (didn't emphasize anything significant, which they generally should). Went offsync near the end, by a few ms.

m94: Awkward step.
m96: Awkward step.
m98+: Why did you understep it?
Slightly offsync. Probably the best of the three files, but it's still quite repetitive. The song choice is a rather bland. IMHO.

What the hell was that ending? That was brutal. Not quite 14 material, but still really ****ing hard nonetheless. Now, that's not the problem I'd want to address; rather, it's simply the run itself. Is it going to anything? I'm running surround sound on high volume, and it seemed like an arbitrary run more than anything else.

I personally think if you're going to stick in a run like that that goes to nothing, leave it 'til the very end. Extending it that long for no reason is pretty dumb. Other than that, the file is beautiful. I'd just like to see that ending reworked.

m88-96: 16ths are really pointless. I say forego them, and stick with eighth notes.
Hands in the file are completely unnecessary and virtually impossible to do properly in time. Recently, I've come to learn to love hands that you NEED to cheat with your feet (I've been playing Pump a bit too much), but they emphasize aspects of the song. Your hands don't, so I request you don't use them unless necessary.

HOLY ****, PATRICK. I'M STUNNED. YOUR FILE DIDN'T SUCK. However:

1) m9-16: You didn't step the 16th notes that should go to the violin.
m17-24: The triples should actually be five notes long.
2) Syncing issues. The file goes really offsync, but nothing I can't fix. This is why I use notepad to edit stops manually.

Revise step 1; step 2 I'll handle afterwards.
