When I played through this on Hard, the only thing I noticed that seemed off was that your layering was in-consistent and some of the quads felt un-necessary. It sounds like the same sound you've stepped primarily as hands during other points in the chordjack transitions, so layering it as a quad when it's alone or during other transitions just feels weird.

Unless you're building up for a climax or something, but the song seemed to end pretty abruptly, so I can't really see it being that. xD

Nice file though, that's the only thing I really noticed, the pattern usage is good and I like how you've minimised use of minijacks in the 32nd bursts and such. :3

Hard:
-Even your jumps in the beginning, not bad usage, but it was hard to tell what they signified.
-Over use of Quads, and not necessarily just the overuse, but they were used inconsistently,p and some of your hands felt like they could've been jumps.
-holy jacks.

Medium:
-Wow i like this medium file, better than the hard, nice one.
-I think with the rolls and more jump layering, this could be a good Hard file

Easy:
-55.6 This constitutes as a hand. Hands are only allowed in Hard files. This needs to be a single note
-Pretty tricky, but good difficulty for easy.

Beginner:
-Looks fine to me, just a little tricky.

Verdict: Rejected (Hands in Easy) Pretty cool, though, hope this gets resubmitted.

We've been over this before. (e: Not you and me, but this kind of thing came up around the release of The Final Hour.)

BPM/Offset: Seems perfect to me.

Hard: The intro was stepped wonderfully. The layering on that piano is perfect and the minijacks work well. Props. ^___^
I enjoy the 32nd bursts and the patterns are nice and varied. A few harsh minijacks, but I can't really ask you to remove them, it'd kill the flow of the file and be an un-necessary change.
When you get to the jacks, this file starts to get a little worse. It's just really inconsistent. You've stepped the same sound as a jump, hand and quad in different places.
This is an enjoyable file, but you need to review those jacks and check your layering, plus consider cleaning up some of those transitions if you're feeling nice. xD

Medium: The intro is stepped extremely well again, those minijack patterns are great and they fit the music perfectly. Plus I like the broken 8th stream, it's nice. And the holds, they're nice too. :')
Not using any 32nds in this could've been bad, but since you didn't use the 16ths sparingly, it worked well.
The "no hands in Medium" rule pretty much killed off your inconsistent layering, so this works fine. Nice chart. :)

Easy: Wow, another great variation on stepping the intro. This file is genius, mad love. <3
Nice use of 16ths and holds to represent the 32nds, that was a good touch rather than just ignoring them and layering other things.
Good job not creating any 16th minijacks with the denser patterns, those would be rage-inducing.
This is a cool chart, well done. :)

Beginner: Beautiful Beginner chart, not much more to say. Props. :3

Overall: I'm gonna call this one another "on hold" file.
I think you definitely need to re-evaluate the chordjacks in the latter half of the Hard chart.
Besides that, everything else is fine for me, but you might want to just take another look at depending on how old it is.
Great job, Reed. I look forward to a re-submission. :3
