Chiron Bass
Two Weeks bass
The last one isn't processed yet, and both of them are recorded in band quickplay. I hope they will be good enough. |

I really didn't expect very much out of this pack on guitar, I just thought it may be a good choice to get them because they sounded somewhat challenging.
This instantly became my favorite pack EVER for guitar. I love playing every song. The gallops are really fun to hit, the HO/PO parts make it all a blast, and there are excellent solos in every single song.
The songs are pretty tough. I'd rank them like this from easiest to hardest: This Calling, Chiron, Two Weeks. None of them are extremely hard to GS, each one took me a few tries. If the GS cut-off hadn't been lowered, though, it would have been much harder.
Highlights:
This Calling - Mainly hard for the gallops, but they're really fun. There's some slow alt-strumming chords in the choruses, which I really like. I also find the solo to be very fun, and somewhat challenging.
Chiron - This song is really fun. There really isn't a part that isn't much fun. The verses are really enjoyable, and the pre-chorus is even more of a blast. Really fun solo, although it's pretty hard also. This is probably my favorite, but I think I may like Two Weeks more.
Two Weeks - Extremely fun verses. I love going from the HO/POs to the gallops, it never gets boring. And the solo. Oh, the solo. Zig-zags ahoy! I kept screwing up on the GRYOYRG ziggies, and it pissed me off. And holy shit at those trills! Really fast. I love this song, this and Chiron are probably tied for the most fun songs in the pack, and possibly, in the game IMHO.
I'm going to try to be the first to FC the entire pack (lol), but I'll probably fail miserably. Hoping to atleast get the first Two Weeks FC. plzplzplz _________________

Well...
220 BPM / 60 = 3.66666667
3.66666667 * 6 = 22
22 NPS... The trills are overcharted to hell and back though. They should only be 11 NPS. Although I'm kind of happy it was made like this, more challenge. ._. _________________

Those are some murderous drum songs. I failed Chiron my first time, failed This Calling at 12% the first time, and barely survived Two Weeks. Chiron and Two Weeks are relatively easy though, just one really hard part in each. This Calling is just insane. At least I passed all 3 in the end. These songs have everything though: super fast bass pedal, crazy rolls, tricky patterns. _________________

This Calling should have been FCed on my sightread, but I choked the outro. It took another dozen tries, but I got it.
Chiron FC. It took....5-10 tries. I can't remember.

The pack can easily be described as "owww", but I had a good run on each of the songs, including a miracle run on "This Calling": -1 on the insta-fail intro, hit all ODs, and FCed the blue streak. Questionable OD, but got this:
Could've done a bit better on Chiron, but happy with it for now:
And first gold on Two Weeks:

wow. |
