Totally random mod, because I like this map and would love to see it approved. Even though it's kinda old at this point. I'm a crap modder, tbh, but I'll do my best. Most of these are just nitpicks, and/or me not understanding your vision of the map. Feel free to ignore all of this! It's probably wrong anyways.
I can't pass the spaced streams/jumpy bit but I could mooooslty hit the rest, does that count?
00:59:309 (7) - Not sure I like this slider, it seems to slide right over the sound at 00:59:407 . I like this pattern
http://puu.sh/jgmPf.jpg01:01:075 (1) - Same with this slider, the ride cymbal starts on the white tick and this slider goes right over it, I think there needs to be something on the white tick.
http://puu.sh/jgmZC.jpg01:03:626 (7,8,1) - Probably should move 8 somewhere else to break up the linear flow.
01:59:040 (7) - Move to 01:59:072 (1/12 note further along). I think this matched just a little bit better when shuffled?
...I'm just not even gonna touch the spamjump section
I think the jumps are a tad to big for this CS, but that's probably just my inability to hit them talking. This
is by far the hardest portion of the map, and it doesn't really go to an "energetic" section imo. Just my 2 cents.
02:16:571 (1,2,3,4) - This little section is mapped to the drums and kinda feels out of place, I'd change it to something that follows the synth like
http://puu.sh/jgo0L.jpg. For some reason I think the very same pattern fits better at 02:22:849 (1,2,3,4) though because of the drums immediately before it.
02:27:166 (7) - Add sliders to follow the lead?
http://puu.sh/jgotd.jpg When playing this part I felt that the alternating jumps on 02:26:773 (5,6,7) were fun to play but the space after them felt empty.
02:33:444 (7) - Same.
02:39:821 - Could use a triplet or something here, just to fill the space. Love that pixel-perfect slider blanket though.
02:43:647 (1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - Feels like a cop-out to me! There's so much wasted potential for interesting patterns here, and these 1/2s don't really capture the spirit of the music, no?
02:49:926 (1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,5,6) - Same, also the yellow jumps are kinda oddly-spaced (small - big - medium - medium - medium - big)
02:54:242 (1) - I like having the finish on the downbeat a little more than on the offbeat as it is here.
03:14:624 (1) - I love the hitsounding on these sliders omgggggg
03:35:029 (1) - This slider's whole body is a whistle slider, but I think you wanted just the head to have the whistle sound?
03:49:536 (3,4,5,6,7,8,9,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - I had trouble reading these streams and the red slider afterward. I think it's because the streams are different lengths and have different timings between them (blue to purple is 3/4, purple to red is 1/2). I don't know what to do about this though :/
03:52:675 (3,4,5,6,7,1,2,3,4) - Don't like this tight, clustered pattern, especially considering that the rest of the map is pretty jumpy. THe flow here is kinda strange as well.
03:58:757 (2,3,4,5) - Another area where I'm not so sure about the flow, especially not on the two sliders.
04:02:093 (3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,1,2,3) - Before the drums were being mapped to, and now all of a sudden the notes follow the lead! This was pretty confusing for me but idk maybe I just can't read circles. I do like the grey sliders though, they make a nice transition to the stream (which follows the lead), but without straying too far from the drums.
04:23:087 (11,1) - I think these notes sound better if you switch their hitsounds.
04:48:168 (6) - Since the lead makes that glitchy, rising "offkey" noise here (idk, it's hard to describe), I think it deserves to be a little faster, or have some kind of emphasis. Just to try it out I raised the SV to 1.75 for that slider and made this weird shape
http://puu.sh/jgqzv.jpg.
04:55:042 - This section has really quiet hitsounds. (55%)
05:04:361 - This section has a much better hitsound volume (70%), but it's the exact same. Mistake?
05:03:675 - This section's pretty loud.
05:07:599 - Starting here there's a new double-drum sound. Sometimes you've added soft whistles to that drum sound, and I really like how that sounds. You should do it to all of them
I believe sometimes it's a mistake because there's whistles on only the first drum, or whistles on only the second drum, or both. It's not consistent.
Actually I'd suggest adding a copy of soft-hitwhistle.wav as "drum-hitwhistle.wav", and using it to overlay the drum finish and soft whistle. Sometimes it's because there's already a sexy drum finish on the note, so a soft whistle wouldn't fit there even though it would sound fabulous there, if that makes sense?
List of whistles you should add in the spoiler.
SPOILER05:07:795 (2,3) - One of these is a whistle and the other isn't, make both a whistle cuz it sounds cool.

05:25:061 (2) - I'm not sure if this is my error when I fiddled with the hitsounds, but this slider shouldn't have a finish.
05:57:793 (5) - NC?
06:10:350 - Too quiet! Raise to 50% maybe
06:18:198 (1,2,3,4,5) - Had trouble reading this, I think it's because it's a relatively uncharacteristic pattern for this map.
06:22:907 - Too loud?
06:22:809 - Useless green point.
06:33:894 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16) - Uhm.
06:41:820 (2) - You should make the volume slowly increase during sliders like these, it'll sound really cool. I like bumping it by 2% every repeat, and then jump down to 30% after the slider's over.
06:39:270 (7) - Also on sliders like these, I like pushing the volume down 2% every repeat, and then snap back up to 30% at the end ofc
07:03:697 (1) - Make this slider end at 07:04:678 and then add two circles at 07:04:874 and 07:04:972 ? Kinda like the pattern at 07:08:014
07:11:055 (2) - Remove?
good luck approving this ~
