And regardless of the changes Monstrata DID make, he refused and still to this day refuses to address and fix the most glaring errors (most regarding improper flow and poor structure). I don't care if you pull the "experience" card on Monstrata's behalf, because guess what? Any moron with any knowledge of music theory can tell the map ignores damn near all the structure of the song that is actually consistent.
Look, I've done this song and dance with two maps by now. I really shouldn't have to personally contact the composers of a song or plaster screenshots of sheet music or the MIDI notation just for people to use their common sense. I'm not even remotely sure how I have extensive experience with music theory and composition (yes, even for this kind of metal), information direct from files containing the exact structure of a songs beat and rhythm (or even sheet music), and have no problem asking the actual musicians themselves for confirmation, and STILL people like you think I'm somehow some complete idiot who has no knowledge or experience to back me up.
Art may be subjective, but music structure is completely objective. And the music structure here says the art is wrong.
Two maps! That's a lot of maps.
Do you really have extensive experience with music theory? Everything you've said sounds like rootless, unsubstantiated posturing. Even if you do (which wouldn't make a difference, even decades' worth of inexpertly applied knowledge won't make a correct statement out of an incorrect one) how do you expect people to suddenly know this? Solipsism is the first form of idiocy.
I do have some knowledge of music theory, but that's irrelevant in mapping. I don't need to know what contrapuntal texture is to put circles down in the editor. I don't need the sheet music (you think the vocalist is reading sheet music?) to map to the music. What I DO have, in abundance, is common sense, which is telling me you don't know what mapping (or art) is.
Please learn to actually use your head instead of only filling it with immaterial knowledge and mistaking it for intelligence. Osu is just a game. If osu isn't glamorous enough of an artform for your pretentious tastes, then stop and go back to finding BNs to put in your own little circles of hell, or whatever it is you do in your spare time.
