if that means it can't be ranked, then i'm submitting this map for approval.
maybe i could whittle the max score down to about 11 million.

-additional timing tweak (x2)
-put sliders over fluid vocals as per awp's suggestion
-finish hitsounds added
-picked some classier colors
-fixed some spacing

Holy crap!

This map is really ... good! Like, actually good! Hopefully you can balance out the difficulty a little bit, since this has some parts that are much, much harder than most of the map.

I'd suggest raising the volume of the mp3 (using a tool like Audacity) and ending the map with a spinner (over the very last "any way the wind blows," ending the spinner with the final gong). Also, add some kind of background image, at the very least.

There are some spacing issues and I have no idea if the timing is right or not, but it's a fun map, so hurry up and do the other difficulties, so it can be modded for real.

This is really impressively mapped. Just needs some timing tweaks which one of our advanced timers will have to do :X

Also, I really think you could increase the overall volume of that mp3 significantly and it'd be all the better for it. That is a song that is intended to be played loudly, and if the loud parts seem too loud, then you're doing it right

That was just awesome. I agree, could be a little bit louder. It's an epic fun map.

Very good. The only issues I see are timing and the large inconsistency in difficulty on insane mode. It look like you have a few too many offsets. With some better timing I would bet quite a few of those can be removed. Good luck with that. I still have a don't stop me now map sitting here unfinished because that kind of queen timing evil. Also, I love the way the sliders move to the pitch of the song. The ending does this really well. Brilliant. If you had to play any map in osu with some really nice headphones or surround sound, this would be the one.

I've timed a parody of this song, so I should be able to go over the timing of the actual song <3

okay wow 77 timing sections I'm just gonna post the chipping I did in the middle for what I got:

70.60 ... 49285
70.60 ... 96794
70.70 ... 115572
70.60 ... 142770

and up to 68.80 at 173358 is as far as I've gone. I don't have the energy to barrel through the rest of it yet.

As for the maps themselves, they look intelligible though mistimed, and we'll work on that.

you're killin mah sample changes

That's why I never add sample changes until last

Okay okay okay

These maps are fun, and I think your creativity should be commended. You've done a really good job of turning the song into a beatmap, rather than simply making a beatmap that is in time with the song. Sounds silly, but there's a difference. Some of the timing is off, some of it's awkward, but you might be able to fix it up without actually touching the timing sections.

I found some things sounding off, mostly with slider tails and mainly on Easy. First example on Easy would be 00:21:85 (5) - I can't hear what the tail is ending on. It'll be very hard to pick apart the general idea without compiling a list and I'm actually too lazy busy to do that right now, but one piece of advice I can give with respect to your time-placement of notes is:

Let the lyrics influence the placement. Do not let the lyrics dictate the placement.

While it's normally the case that lyrics are stressed on specific beats, this song is an example of one where the vocals often throw the BPM out the window and just flow their own way. Many of the vocals don't even HAVE a stressed note and mapping to them is both difficult and awkward. Same goes for playing along certain lyrics. When I hit a phrase that has been sung too fluidly or awkward to map, I'll either slider/spinner that little segment (depending on length and mood - usually a slider) or make up a pattern that detaches from the vocals. The problem with mapping awkward/fluid vocals that are indistinct is that not only is it hard for the mapper to get right, it's almost impossible for the player to.

One way to test out how awkward or natural your map sounds is to start playing the song on auto play and then shut your monitor off and try to tap along. Since it's your map, you'll know most of the placements, but some of them will likely catch you off guard.

But! You've done a great job with this map so far, and this song's more or less the final boss of beatmapping.

Anyone out there who's a fan of this map, feel free to link some pictures that you think would be good, especially if they're suited well for a particular section. Like if there's a good pic for the hard rock section, or one for the opera section, that'd be sweet.

Bug ogicu8abruok to do it.
Starring for persuasion.

I am amazed anyone would even try to map this... the timing is so inconstant.

Star for a job well done - especially considering the above.

This is not a map that belongs in the graveyard!

Great map ^ ^ It's pretty much timed perfectly and should be ranked!

this was playing on my playlist when osu! booted up today lol

Revived!

Get someone to time it a little better. Other than that...
