^is this really an expert? I get that the spaced 1/3 is there, but I still feel like you could call this an Insane. not that it matters anyway, either is fine.
00:34:809 (4) - Shouldn't the NC be here instead, if I'm understanding your NC pattern correctly?
01:05:409 - notable piano note here, and given how you're emphasizing it I think you should make 01:05:409 - a 1/2 slider to keep the piano properly followed by the rhythm.
01:08:409 (1,2,3) - all part of one combo, but 01:07:209 (3,4,1) - aren't? nc 01:07:209 (3) - instead perhaps?
01:26:142 (2,3,1,2,3) - might just be me but the hitsounds on these feel just a bit too loud and are a bit jarring when playing
01:29:209 (1,2,3) - mm maybe increase the SV over these 3 because of the increasing pitch? it just feels weird for me that 1 is so fast when its not really that intense compared to something like 3 which deserves the speed
01:30:409 (1,2,3,4) - these also feel a tad loud, think if you just lower the volume a bit it would be fine.
01:48:409 (3) - fix the sliderbounce at 01:49:209 -
01:59:009 (2,3,4,1,2,3) - I don't like giving these the same spacing when 01:59:809 (1,2,3) - is much more intense. might be cool to just ctrl+shift+s in place, smth like this, understandable if you dont like this tho -
https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/792513602:04:609 (1,2,3) - fix stack
02:47:809 (1,2,3,1) - comparing this to 01:28:609 (1,2,3,1) - feels quite harder due to increased spacing / the angles here despite not any change in intensity in the song. im not one to gripe on hyper consistency or something but these were pretty noticeable to me
03:24:009 (3) - not a huge deal but I don't really get this kickslider, I hear sounds on 03:24:009 - and 03:24:059 - sure, but I can't hear more than that. doesnt really justify a buzzslider here imo.
https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/7925163 lol
03:46:809 (1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,2) - i really like this
04:51:384 (1) - sounds late, so i assume the BPM for this timing point is wrong
04:56:428 - also sounds a bit late
04:56:604 (1,2,1,2,3,1,2,1) - i was SSing up to here and then 100 or 50'd all of these lol, feelsbadman
05:00:364 (1) -
https://puu.sh/vwwcn/750b046c2e.jpg would be better imo (considering the final sound of that little burst is just as intense as the first), but its fine as is too.

I love that this is AR 8, makes it super fun for me
00:02:409 (1) - didnt mention this in the other diff but this really stands out to me in the music in regards to the piano, but you have the same movement and pattern as 00:01:409 (4,1) - which is just super underwhelming
this diff is really similar to the other diff in terms of how you execute the concepts you use, so stuff like 01:05:209 (2) - would apply here as well I guess
Nothing else to add for this diff, it's very clean and consistent.
maybe just a sign of your consistency that at times it felt like I was playing the insane, but with CS 6. not necessarily a bad thing, just an observation I guess. Maybe you could have been more creative with the 1/3 patterns instead of just doing streamy shapes like you did in the other diff? I know you mapped this one first so I feel like you held back a bit in terms of patterning. I really like these diff so don't take this the wrong way :p
Good luck~
