Opinion
A fantastic pack, with many high quality dumps, that have lots of unique aspects to them. Many of the charts in here have something special to offer, and the ones that may not be unique, still stand up to par with very clean and well executed patterning and expression. Highly recommended pack, for anyone who enjoys dumps, and, the first pack (I believe) From Ptet and Teruna, so they're coming out very strong from the starting gates, with a very impressive and extremely polished pack.
Songs
Elegant Sance
Tenpei Sato MSD 22.67 : Played 0.8x charted by ScintillI'm playing charts in random order, for clarity!
This chart is very clean and immersive, I'm a huge fan! Felt amazing to play, even on downrates. I'd expect nothing less from Scintill, though.
Fruit Bleed Juice
Ecco2k MSD 19.44 : Played 1x charted by TerunaI really like this! I'm always a fan of lower MSD dumps, but the flow on this was really clean. Felt like butter, overall pleasant to play. The quads were a really nice touch, too!
A Hundred and Sixty Acres
Marty Robbins MSD 19.88 : Played 1x charted by PtetVery simple chart. It's effective though! The patterns are quite fun, and represent the song well. It's just a simple chart executed very well.
Patterns of the Ancients
Uncredited (Keiichi Okabe) MSD 28.76 : Played 0.65x charted by ScintillThe patterns in this feel so good. I got sent this via DM's from Scintill for playtesting, so I played this in the past, not a true sightread, but, I really enjoy this. The patterns feel great to hit, I always love me some control-focused patterning. Favourited :D
Shakunestu Pt.2 Long Train Running
DJ Mass MAD Izm* MSD 31.91 : Played 0.55x charted by TerunaChordjack chart with lots of control stuff, bursts, spikes, and overall fun patterning throughout that match the song perfectly. An absolute vibematcher of a chart, had a blast playing it. Long-term AAA goal for sure. Everything about this chart works super well together, and it combines to make one of the most fun CJ charts I've played in a long time. Easy favourite.
Vulture City
Venturing MSD 17.12 : Played 1x charted by TerunaVery clean chart. Flow-focused. I didn't really get immersed in this one, personally, but, it was still very fun. Good job.
White Light / White Heat
The Velvet Underground MSD 18.73 : Played 1x charted by WindozeThis is surprisingly friendly for a Windoze dump. I had a pleasant time playing this, though. Well executed simplicity... though I should've expected that from Windoze, they excel at simple concepts executed flawlessly.
Let's Groove
Earth, Wind & Fire MSD 12.97 : Played 1x charted by ZetaVery simple chart, clean structure.
Pena
Captain Beefheart MSD 18.45 : Played 0.8x charted by RicetoastThis chart was fun! Lots of very unique patterning to keep you on your toes when sightreading. Had a lot of fun playing this!
Piece of the Sky
Swans MSD 20.93 : Played 0.9x charted by FlossyFirst of all, glad to see Flossy return! Secondly, this chart was quite nice. It was a bit mental stamina-ey, but I enjoy that kind of thing. Had fun. :D
Defying Gravity
Stephen Schwartz MSD 27.44 : Played 0.6x charted byThis chart is really fun! I enjoyed almost all of it. There's only one section I didn't enjoy, and its a section that can very easily be hit as a manip splittrill into jumptrill into splittrill around 4 minutes 13 seconds into the chart. This is likely because I played it on 0.6x, but, I really did not enjoy that at all. Hitting it legitimately felt completely unfitting for the song. I understand what was being done, and respect the expression, but to play it felt weird. Everything else in the chart felt great, however! The gallop use was brilliant, and the poly runningmen felt so good.
Backseat Girl
Jane Remover MSD 27.75 : Played 0.65x charted by TerunaThis chart is quite fun. The patterning is very smooth and flowey, but obviously the star of the show is the Xmod effects. The second one is cool, but the mineart one is very, very cool, I enjoyed it a lot! Good chart.
Internet Exploder
Sunnexo MSD 27.02 : Played 0.65x charted by James MayI love this chart. Extremely fun patterns, great jacks, great bursts, overall excellent execution. James has improved so much over the past 3 years. Really brought out the song with ease, enjoyed every second of this.
A Cruel Angel's Thesis
Yoko Takahashi MSD 23.40 : Played 0.8x charted by WindozeI really enjoyed this. The flow was nice, patterns were fun, overall very clean chart! Very fun.
And Then, to CODA
Tomoyo Mitami MSD 22.52 : Played 0.9x charted by TerunaI really enjoyed this! I absolutely adore this type of music getting charted, easily my favourite type of dumps to see. That being said, in the middle, some of the quads felt a little unjustified and really took me out of the immersion, though that's a minor nit-pick, the ending intensity was perfect afterwards, really enjoyed this one, favourited.
