Hi guys, another one, harder than my last. Going to try an even harder one now :D!
awp
Hey, not bad at all. Just a few things need to be revised.

The offset is a little late. I'm getting 7,868 for the offset; it might come a little earlier than that, but I can't hear it. Beatspacing could use a bit more consistency to avoid confusion, and there are a few sliders where one ends exactly when another one starts. I personally don't really have any problem with it but later in the song there are notes that do this that are close to, but not directly overtop the end of the slider, and that's a bit dangerous.

The notes are snapped exlusively to whole notes, leaving little to the imagination in the way of the actual song. There's a number of spots where it appears to me that the notes will start tagging along with the vocals, but a lot of the vocals are on half-beats and this exclusively whole-note approach can be a bit misleading. You can make your beatmap more interesting, at least in my opinion, by adding in something of a dynamic element by using half, and occasionally if the song permits it, quarter notes.

I spent ages on the offset and bpm so if it's off then.. well, it's beyond what my ears are capable of even at lower speeds :(. It probably is off, but.. oh well, hopefully it's something I'll get on the next one.

I'm not a big fan of sliders or notes starting on the same beat one ends, but I needed something big for the finale. Now that I've thought about the next point I'm about to make, I hopefully won't resort to them again.

You know, I completely forgot you could shift drag notes on the timeline at the top, haha. I'll definitely play with this more on any upcoming beatmaps.

Thanks for the comments!
