Because I've been gone so long, I didn't even know it took four whole weeks to put new songs up. XP

Here are my reviews for the songs (my god it's been a while since I've done one of these lol).

Artemis: Alright file, would play again. 7/10
Axel Man: This is a nice easy file for the beginner players and the patterns are pretty solid. 7/10
Direct Advance: This is my favourite file this week. Plopadop did a really amazing job with the way the patterns were constructed, especially where the tricky burst sections came up. 8.5/10
Holy Winter: I was so close to putting this as my favourite file this week until that random difficulty spike at the end of the song, but I still give it a decent rating. 8/10

fixed Direct Advance -- I guess it's a good thing that I listed the notecount incorrectly because Plop told me that the wrong version was uploaded. New version should have 1605 notes.

Rage spike? Meh. Holy Winter was about the same as Sonata Quasi Una Fantasia for me. Teens FC sightread, half in the spike. I'll get it, though.

Direct Advance still have some issues:



That "Percent" is clearly wrong and my score is not listed as a FC. I guess it assumes there are more notes. Haven't played the old version, so I have no idea how it was before the fix.

Yeah, I've got a 1065 note version.

You have the 1065 note version. So you haven't gotten the fix yet.

New version should have 1605 notes.

Huh, I misread 1605 as 1065. Even then, it seems the chart has been fixed or at least changed because the earlier scores have 1069 instead of 1065 notes.

1065/1605=~66.3%

Someone mistyped the number of arrows somewhere in the game.

Anyhow. It's a fun chart; my favorite of this set of releases.

The "spike" is a sort of simple trill. 4-0-0-2 sightread, first good was dumb, 1 good on the trill because #sightreadprobs, wasn't ready
I like all of the songs though

Holy Winter ending wasn't too bad in relation to the rest of the file, but definitely 10/10 bmahs

Direct Advance was pretty simple, just obvious and consistent layering scheme and fun JS patterns. Not sure if I played the right version or not but it was good

Artemis felt like a 2008 song. I had to double check that it wasn't by some xX{newgrounds artist}Xx
Halfway through the song a super intense 8th bass drum comes in and it's not acknowledged at all until it changes to 16ths, which were stepped as trills. Would have liked to see something to that bass drum, probably 8th jacks. Felt very empty there compared to the huge buildup of tension going on in the music.
There's a similar 8th bass drum into 16ths buildup at the end which is layered in as 8th jacks and that part feels great.

fixed; gotta wipe scores with the incorrect note count, though

Re: Songs of the Week (March 31, 2014)

Holy Winter's ending wouldn't even be considered a spike if it didn't convert like piss, but that's to be expected

The 8th bass drum is acknowledged by an 8th trill (interspersed with 16ths that go to the main synth)
