The fucking cure

General:
Your mp3 kind of sounds like rubbish - hardly surprising, since it appears to be from YouTube. 192kbps, you'll have to rearrange the offset but it's worth it for not sounding like shiz I'll think about this~ The not so good quality gives it some kind of retro feeling, plus your .mp3 doesn't have the voice of that guy in the beginning.
I think the preview point could be better, perhaps like just before/after the first kiai section? Your choice The kiai sections didn't sound so representative to me, that's why I didn't use it

Hard:
00:26:089 - I feel like a hitcircle is missing here. Can you find it? xD The pause feels nice in my opinion so I'll keep this~
02:31:792 (1) - This is the only overlap like this in the map, and I don't particularly like it. You can fix it while keeping symmetry! Ok fixed in a way
03:02:225 (1) - Add a finishing finish? Sure! It should be in Medium too, I guess

Medium:
Hiding hitcircles under slider ends for a Medium difficulty? Hmm. It's not meant to be such an easy difficulty~

Gonz
Do call this Gonz' Easy, or a variation of. It's just that he likes to keep that name for his guests, but I'll ask him.
00:24:986 (1) - I think the start of this slider is a bit too lololololol quiet, in my opinion.

Ok, I'll wait for his answer~

lolol this mod sucks it's tuesday I like this map Will you like it tomorrow :3? xD

Superb!

[Medium]
02:43:921 (8) - move back to red tick and...
02:44:142 (X) - ...add a stacked circle on top of the following slider (1); this matches the rest of your note placement and plays much better than this awkward focus change Mmm I didn't like the suggestion that much, but since some people have mentioned this, I did something to improve the flow~
02:52:301 (2) - Maybe turn this into a "v" shape slider as it would follow the lyrics much better: http://puu.sh/2FeU I did use just simple curve sliders mainly on the map, so it took me a while to decide for this...

[Hard]
00:12:416 (8) - Maybe delete this note here. It doesn't match the same parts later on and the SINGLE small jump inside the 1/2 follow here feels really weird and out of place. Personally I would keep the note and just use the same 1,2x spacing for 00:12:857 (2) to make this mini-jump pattern fit the music! http://puu.sh/2Ffk
Some of the single jumps were a bit confusing and unfitting imo but this may just be personal preferences. And yes, the point mentioned above was the only thing, that prevented the SS in 1st try here *rage*; everything else is smooth.
Fine, I did something to improve the flow, but I didn't delete (8) and kept the jump~


Overall very polished and fun-to-play mapset. Great song choice!
It's Friday, here's your ~star!



And this little pink thingy here wants to stay, too (seems to like The Cure )

Hi! Nice song - some mini-mod.

Map is a bit bigger then 20 Mb. Maybe you can save background image in .jpg? Ok!

[Medium]
01:51:435 (1,2) - not in stack, please? It's the only part I miss in testplay. Ok fine...

[Hard]
01:50:994 (9,1) - some tough jump for me (because antiflow). Use 1.4x-1.6x spacing? No, this is just fine. I can play it fairly well ANd I don't think it's too difficult.
also maybe reduce HP, OD or AR by 1? - it's hard, not insane. Yes, but it is the Hardest difficulty. So, even if it's not an Insane, I want to give the player some sort of a little challenge!

awesome map, star

maybe place slider from 03:00:682 to 03:01:564 - now it's not a funny empty space here
Added some circles there, I'm not too sure about them tho.

00:27:412 (2) - Nothing wrong, but I don't really like so many repeats on this slider. I'll leave it as it is, if you don't mind :3
00:43:511 (5) - ^ ^
00:59:169 (2) - begin at 00:59:389 - with 1 less repeat Mmm, I feel like that would break the flow. Again, if you don't mind, I'll keep it~
01:17:032 (3,4) - Probably intentional, but I still found it kinda weird for it to be tilted like this I don't know what to say, I don't see the rpoblem in this xD
02:12:606 (7) - Finish on sliderstart and whistle on end? Nah, that finish on the end gives emphasis to the moment, which is exactly what I want to do~
02:19:663 (7,1) - Finish on 7 and whistle on 1? Same as before, it's the way I want it to sound <3
02:52:301 (2) - Again nothing wrong, but just a bit weird seeing this slider here. Felt a bit out of place looking like that xD yes, in fact, I didn't want to do this that much. I guess I'll change it nack

Generally feels like a little bit steep difficulty jump here. I like this map a lot though ~

[Hard]
02:20:104 (1) - Weird place to put Finish? Actually, if you think this sounds alright, try add finish at 02:21:206 (4) - sliderstart and 02:22:971 (7) Same as in Medium, I love it just the way it is. Sorry for that~

I really don't have much to say to this one. Generally, you could try use more repeats on sliders? Anyhow, I love this <3 Star~~

00:19:694 (1,1,1) - Nice symmetry, but I don't like how this plays out since you're not really getting all the... what're they called... down beats? idk xD those long white ones :p Not sure how you would want to make it instead though, but I think you should try to get them on those ticks.

Well nothing else really. Awesome symmetry <3

I have to disagree, I think it sounds way better if it starts on a main beat and lands on the 4th one. Thanks anyways <3

02:17:237 (3) - add whistle for slider's middle point?
02:57:594 (5) - sounds better without that note It follows the music pretty well, especially the guitar. I'll keep it.

Hard
00:34:249 (1) - I'd move that back to red tick It doesn't sound good at all xD
02:22:971 (7,1) - How about this?
> > > Nah, I'm kiind of mapping to the vocals there, and it somewhat makes that pause
02:26:058 - add note mmm... I don't really like how it sounds...

You may also change green combo colour to something like this:

Combo2 : 160,67,27

No, I'm using the default colours (except for the pink, of course)

God, what a perfect map. I'm in love with these sliders, though it's not Friday today.

[General]
00:04:036 - Can you start mapping from here? No, I won't. I want to start it a little later because that way, it's easy to understand how the beats on the song will be. It's something like a "warm-up" for the ears :3 Also, I like it xD

[Hard]
00:34:028 (X) - Somehow I miss a circle here But I don't xD it's kind of a rest for the player after the triplets. Also, it sounds well to have a silence there.
00:55:420 (2,3) - It was a bit weird for me to listen to a whistle on the end of the slider here
Can you remake this someway so the whistle will be on the start of the slider or on the circle?
I checked this several times, and I concluded that the whistle at (3)'s end sounds just right. But, to try to satisfy this request, I added a whistle at (1)'s end. Check if you like it.
02:33:997 (X) - The same circle as before heh Again, I want to keep this silence >w< Here, it gives special emphasis to the jumps

Hitsounds are pleasant for my ears so is the music
Good job :3 A star from me~

HP 8, OD 8 looks really hard, may be HP -1, OD-1? especially OD I agree with OD, I'll reduce it by 1 tick
01:54:953 [T] - 10ms unsnapped kiai lol how did I miss this
02:05:537 [T] - 12 ms unsnapped kiai and this...
01:01:925 (x) - add note? Nope, it's just fine as it is.
01:26:515 (6) - add whistle? It doesn't sound bad, but I'll keep my 2-whistles 2-normals pattern

Medium
I guess it's "Advanced", not "Medium". Also it sounds like this diff was made by user whose name is "Medium" :-) In any case, the one to be named Advanced would be the current Hard. I'm fine with the difficulty names, even if they are a bit weird
01:54:953 [T] - 10ms unsnapped kiai
02:05:537 [T] - 12 ms unsnapped kiai both fixed
01:25:191 (4) - imo, nc here Makes sense. Added.
03:00:682 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - maybe this?

1. Lol, that skin
2. Can you provide the code next time? :3
3. Looks good, I did something alike!

Gonz
01:00:271 (3) - i guess this note must be 1/2 earlier.
02:12:606 (1) - ^
02:17:016 (1) - bad overlap with hp bar :<
02:37:305 (1) - imo, sounds better :

03:01:564 (6) - add whistle?

Well, without mistakes in general, only some suggestions. solution : star'd

02:17:016 (1) - bad overlap with hp bar :< Okay, moved the slider some grids down.
02:37:305 (1) - imo, sounds better : Re-arranged this and the next pattern, kept a beat on that 1/2 tho
03:01:564 (6) - add whistle? I guess so~

00:08:226 (X) - I am not sure, but probably a circle here will fit well? I agree, it would make the rhythm easier to follow
00:38:549 (X) - Here too Nope
03:02:005 (1) - I would better place a circle here and then start a spinner a bit later (personal preference in this situations I guess) Okay, added.

Mod for Gonzvlo #3! By the way, I will not reference Rebecca Black in this mod. WILL NOT.

[General]
- At the beginning, you can hear a little bit of the song starting before your red timing point. If you put another red timing point at 4037, the menu will pulse to reflect this. <- You're totally right there -> Fun, fun, ffffuuuu... I referenced Rebecca Black, didn't I? Oh well.
- Difficulty spread could be better. A little. It's not too big of an issue, though ~ Hehe

[Hard]
00:43:511 (6,7) - It would be lovely if these didn't touch. No big deal, don't worry
02:58:035 (8,1) - Kickin' in the front seat. (remove overlap) ^
03:00:461 (1,2) - Sittin' in the back seat. (remove overlap) ^ and stop referencing her aaargh xD
03:01:784 (6) - Which seat can I taaake? (New combo here because of the spacing change.) Hm, makes sense.

So come on, come on, and don't 'cha say never.

Generally, you really really should get a better mp3 for this, seems you just simply ripped it off the video. That's a bad idea.

But I've taken the liberty to uploaded it for you already, so here. The Cure - Friday I'm In Love

You know, I've grown to like a lot the mp3 I have because of it's relatively bad quality, since the song is from 1992 and it kind of gives it a retro feeling. But as that version is from teh album, I might just change it.

You don't necessarily have to use the one I've given, but even so I'll strongly recommend you to since it's from the album I own. (quality)

About the map, I don't have anything to touch on, technical-wise.
I really like the flow in which this map goes, for instance - not having an overhwhelming symmetrical mapping ratio.
Easy-going and comfortable rhythms to go with this light-hearted song, that makes me happy.

I notice you've done a fairly excellent job of pairing the mapping elements (hitcircles and sliders) to correspond with the music, like say the little things such as making a slope with a slider to "bend" along with the pitch/wavelength - 00:51:450 (1) - , and using dragging sliders to run with the vocals - 01:55:404 (2,3,4,5,6) - Glad you noticed those little things

Now, one thing though.

Nice soft-whistle usage & that little chorus part with the special combo color, but where are the claps?

Of course, this is on purpose. This part is different from the rest of the song, clearly. I wanted to make the map different in that part too, and it really creates a good effect imo.

Insane:

- 01:01:374 (5,6,7,8,9) - Just want to point out this is awesome. ^^

- 01:06:887 (4,5,6,7) - Here's a suggestion:

SPOILER

Sounds good to me. However, I made (7) 1/2 shorter, and didn't stack it under (6).

1. Added the new mp3.
2. Fixed the timing, which was wrooong.
3. Added the voice in the beginning as a little SB.
4. Made some minor fixes in Insanel the difficulties.
5. Re snapped eeeeeverything.

AR -1 Okay
Use slider tick rate 1 '2' sounds better, imo.
00:19:679 (1,1,1) - Very nice but doesn't go with the music :/ Okay, re-tweaked the middle one.
01:22:767 (1) - Feels random Fixed.
02:51:444 (1) - Small part is hidden under the HP bar. Doesn't seem like a big issue, just a liiittle overlap

Enable epilepsy warning because of the flashy video! But if they download it without the video, they would still get the warning!
Set stack leniecy to it's default setting (7)! Sure thing

For your timing section:
2nd offset: 5570
3rd offset (new):72620 Excelent, both offsets feel fine

Normal
01:18:356 (3) - Almost offscreen. Looks better if you move it a bit higher.
01:43:062 (4) - ^
Did both of them~

Avoid placing hitobjects under the HP/life bar at the top of the screen, as this can greatly impair the visibility of notes and approach circles to the player.

01:22:823 (1) - This is still the same. Your decision!
