Finally got around to getting this uploaded! I originally completed this back in the summer but just left all the video files rotting in a folder on my hard drive. I think the reason I waited so long to upload this was a mix of not having enough space on my PC (the video file being uploaded rn is 20gb) and having an idea for a intro skit I ended up scrapping because I thought it was just gonna be cringe filler.

So for thoughts on these charts, surprisingly this album is imo miles easier than Texas Flood, and of course doesn't even touch Rust in Peace (thanks Five Magics Hangar 18 and Tornado of Souls). The only songs that are really notable are Riad n the Bedouins, Better, There Was a Time, and I guess I.R.S.

Riad is infamous for the 2 pre-verses that have extremely fast ladders that are pretty hard to transition into, and also a stupid overcharted solo part in the last like 4 seconds of the song. IMO the hardest song objectively. I dreamed of fcing this song for awhile but randomly got 100% consistent at Pre-Verse 3 and FCed it first run of the day, no chokes in the ending solo!

Better only really has one section that's difficult which is Chorus 3. The sweeps that start the section I found myself missing in every so often, which was very irritating and annoying. The spacing of the notes in the tapping is really hard to hit accurately everytime and I found myself missing in the last 5 notes 24/7. Thankfully the song isn't chokeable after that section, and it's also SUPER satisfying to hit. I've actually FCed this song on RB1, and hit Chorus 3 on LRB lol.

There Was a Time is probably the most frustrating song to grind because of its stupid length and having the hardest part again be in the last 20 seconds. The section right at the end of the very long guitar solo starts with some average shredding, and then hits you with 18nps ascending trips out of nowhere. I cannot tell you how happy I was that I got this pretty quickly, as I absolutely despise long songs with stupid hard parts in the last few seconds. This is probably the hardest song for most people, but I still had a lot more trouble with Riad.

I.R.S. is the last notable song I can think of, besides Scraped having a random 14nps strumming burst in the solo. I.R.S.' solo has very awkward to time descending trips I struggled to hit consistently, so I just decided to grind it out until the game decided to give it to me, which happened after about 45 minutes, thanks RB3. I actually want to FC this song on RB1 one day but haven't given it a serious chance yet, maybe one day.

That's all I really have to say about this album. After I got Riad I knew this Full Album FC would be in my hands, as I had gotten Better months before it, so I knocked out the 2 most notable songs. If I ever try to get a full album FC again I really wanna try Texas Flood. I got Testify a few months ago, but Dirty Pool and Rude Mood scare the shit out of me. I really hope I can knock it down one day but I honestly doubt it'll happen anytime soon, wish me luck.
