streamed da whole thang. not really much to say about a lot of them other than they were good. most memorable is probably The Government Knows just for being a crazy song. I'll have to play it some more to determine my favorite though.

least fav: any of that korean shite

[AutotelicBrown]

much yes

gotta love copyright

that said I know you were trying to get a good whole run of the pack done, but I do recommend you sometime to check out some of the easier files, if it's not on your agenda

[Leo137]

Yo i guess im quite responsible of the korean shite at this pack lol, i just thought it was a more novice friendly than stepping mad scientist computer sounds or bmscore. Somewhat often i see threads of newcomers searching for "popular" music so i thought to give it a shot.

I have yet to give this whole pack a shot, but as far as i go, i really liked Seaside labyrinth, Play time and The Goverment Knows (because KNOWER RULEZ).

Thanks Kraezy for making this pack possible <3

I know and tbh i love bmscore, is just i don't think thats what the novices are looking for when entering a rhythm game. I've heard several times that they are looking for recent popular songs and there's a considerable lack of those files.

Shame about the copyright issues though!

[Jombo1]

lol the Korean songs are perfectly fine in the pack despite me personally not being into that stof

i will fam

[Wayward Vagabond]

going to review this when i get the chance

[Wayward Vagabond]

i'm only playing the hardest versions of each file sorry not sorry

also keep in mind that on the scale that i'm using 5 is average so keep that in mind when getting butt hurt because your file got a score lower than 7/10. 5 is neither good nor bad just meh. 6-7 slightly above average, id probably play it again. 8+ playing it again every time i decide to check out the pack. anything below a 5 and i probably wont play again

abandoned art - learn to cut songs and not repeat sections endlessly. has potential but the execution was poor. 2/10

AH! - i played medium because i couldnt do hard rofl. solid stuff and its just a really good solo file. kind of repetitive but the song was short 8/10

Alone - this file was cute. the intro layering progression was neat though it played too rigid and created unneeded tension. 6/10

Anaconda - my own file. i like the song and i think that will play a huge part in whether or not this file is replayable. i tried to make it as unrepetitive as possible but there isn't much i can do considering the song. 5/10

Belly Dance - Another one of my own files. each difficulty is stepped differently from each other. standard is stepped with the vocals being the main focus and heavy is stepped with the instrumentals in mind. i personally like standard more than heavy. 6/10

Digiben - wow the second half is significantly harder than the first half and considering that Ah! was rated 7 and this is rated 8 i would bump the rating up to 9 personally. aside from that this was dope. 7/10

Dithering - i'm super disappointed you didnt have jacks for tension in the middle of the song and even more disappointed you didnt bother changing up anything when the first section repeats. the ending could've also been cut. 6/10

excite bike - garbage 1/10

fantastique - super boring pattern usage and everything just felt same-y. the song owned though and that would be the only reason id replay this file 7/10

fly - this song could've used a cut as well. i can tell your favourite patterns are 1324 and 4231 lol. the jack usage was confusing during the js sections but when it made sense they felt good to hit. the solo got really annoying with the guitar being holds. i suggest shortening the holds to just 16ths or 32nds next time except for sustained notes which should be a bit longer but still shorter than what you have them at. 7/10

for father - pretty sure there are some ghost notes in the end and that 32nd jack is a dick fucking move but other wise this file owns. 8/10

futuristic love - i wouldve liked to see more of the longer jacks on 2 and 3 in the second half rather than on 1 and 4 but really solid file. 9/10

i'll review the rest laterrrrr

[SKG_Scintill]

doing god's work huh

[Wayward Vagabond]

No one does reviews anymore and it sucks so I'm stepping up to the plate for better or worse

just remember that i'm in denial about my minor mistakes

as a stepartist you've the right to discount any error as conscious bias in efforts to portray expression in the song with subjective preference to structure

tl;dr: its not wrong, its intentional :^)

Its more worrying if a stepartist ISN'T in denial about something.
