back with another set

i fucking hate mussels: 4/10

- so this file wants to be about trills, it seems, but there's so much else that could be going on
- it has odd white note use: first time they come in (m17) the whole jumps turn into white notes, but the same doesn't happen later when trills start (m49). pretty sure you mean white notes to highlight the vocals, but if you're doing that it's better to be consistent one way or the other.
- some of the trills might start late but that needs a finer look for where exactly than i'm able to give it on ffr
- m62: pretty sure this is misrhythm'd and the latter 3 jumps are an 8th late
- all the jump-tap going on after m73 is a good example of what i mean when more could be done. there's other instruments going on in this file but you really like the boom chick, and this leads to a lot of repetition.
- moreover: all the trills are two-handed, and all the ones with jumps add the second note on the same hand. so they take a decent amount of control not to boo but the lack of variety is the trouble.

is it: 2/10

- i'm mostly going to speak w/r/t the non-js parts because i can't really comment on how those feel, but there's still a bunch going on that should not be going on
- speaking of, though, this file swings a lot in difficulty, and seems like it could benefit from a look at what kind of file you want this to be. many of the non-js parts way undershoot the intensity suggested by the song
- missed a couple jump opportunities in the beginning
- m7: who knows what these minijacks mean, because i certainly don't. the 8th doesn't sound like it goes to the synth
- m17: the jumps in this section do not make much sense to me, because the sound the taps make is the same as the first jump, whereas the one on the other jumps isn't as loud
- m25: this is not good. this contains many of the same instruments as the mega killer js that's about to happen, just muted a bit, plus a drum beat comes in here that just gets kind of ignored
- m33: hey what's the 32nd jump right before this?
- not really sure why the beginning is a half bpm section and the part starting at m66 isn't
- m70: time for some hot jump-tap action. this is kind of easy compared to most other things that happen in this file, and while i get it's a calmer part of the song, there are plenty of other instruments, options for patterning variety, etc. that are just disregarded here
- many of your section transitions like [12] or [34] a lot
- m130 resolves the jump-tap issue a bit but that's still the base for what's stepped here, now feat. chains
- chart doesn't have much respect for the song overall

Leningrad Vodka Rush: 9/10

- like the use of orange notes as a section transition of sorts, from purples to a bunch of oranges
- m41: hi what is PA
- song sure gave you a lot to work with and you made use of it
- 32nd rolls feel great
- i really hope this succeeds on further review because what's here already is pretty fun

welc.moe: 8.5/10

- fricken fantabulous
- there's a part or two where i'm wondering what's going on though
- halfway through m34: wish the jumps that start here matched for PR sake
- then in parts like m35-36 i'm having a hard time tracking what is actually making sound here, because that instrument on the jump in m34 returns but there are a few other things muddled in too
- otherwise i like a lot

$ M O L O C H $: 8/10

- set 3 confirmed for chiptune set jeez
- my main worry is that burst usage may seem inconsistent. in the section around m25 i was having trouble drawing a principled distinction between what gets a burst and what doesn't. it certainly sounds like there are some bloops in there that could be equally bursty, but they'd likely create a huge mess
- the ones that are there seem well placed though
- for a more concrete example of this, i think it's just before m19 that you have a trip-a-let to add in a blip, but similar blips don't come in elsewhere
- other thing is that some streams don't sound like streams exactly, but since this is very fast i might just need my ears checked
