Here goes.

A New Ray of Light
Steps- Don't like the doublestepping. It starts too early but that's not a problem on SM. Liked the mines and 24ths, hated the hands. Especially they very cheatable hands. 2.5/6
Everything Else- Uhhh Sonic? Whatever. It was cool I suppose. 4/6
Overall- 6.5/10 Not bad, not omgwtf awesome.

A Voice Spoke To Me
Steps- Not bad. Only things I didn't like were that the slowdown didn't really follow the music very well, and from the slowdown run all your crossovers were really inconsistent. Pretty good otherwise. 4/6
Everything Else- BG was too plain. Fine otherwise. 3/4
Overall- 7/10 It was ok.

Asteroid
Steps- Biggest problem here is that I can't hear any of the 24ths. Scratch, that the slowdown is the biggest problem. And the rhythm is inconsistent as hell. After the slowdown is the worst part. Uhm.. can't say I like this. 1.5/6
Everything Else- Nice! 4/4
Overall- 5.5/10 Nice artwork, bad steps.

Bad Boy
Steps- Not bad at all. I enjoyed it except for just a few parts. Good job. 5/6
Everything Else- I like the art. 4/4
Overall- 9/10 Good work!

Be Princess
Steps- The difficulty is way too inconsistent here. I would've preffered you added notes just to make it so this was more like an 11 than a sometimes 8 sometimes 12. The beginning half is Driving Force Classical-style boring, but without crossovers. It gets a bit better after that, but not by much. Again I hate cheatable hands. 2.5/6
Everything Else- Anime backgrounds are played. It wasn't bad though. 3/4
Overall- 5.5/10 Could've been better.

Breathe- lol my file.

Cheap Trick Kinda Girl (LOL TITLE)
Steps- Soooo good until the hands. Then there's the doublestepping mine part. The rest is pretty goddam good though. 4.5/6
Everything Else- If I could give extra points, I would. 4/4
Overall- 8.5/10 Nice work overall.

Days Dreamer
Steps- But really people. Doublestepping and cheatable hands are quite shitty. This one also has way too short holds all around. It's also boring. I also hate that the only thing that makes the steps a ten is this one long hold with sixteenth notes around it. This is bad. Sorry. 1/6
Everything Else- Good stuff. 4/4
Overall- 5/10 Steps sucked.

Devestation
Steps- First boo-boo is the hand in the first freeze. I don't think anyone would actually want to use their hands for that, I know for sure I would just cheat it. First sixteenth note run goes to nothing at all. Then after the one that follows the music, there's this eighth not run that should be a 16th note run. Then there's the Colors Oni syndrome that I actually don't mind but still isn't too creative. The hands are good at the end. Too many steps for a 10. 2.5/6
Everything Else- Art was a bit too dark but not bad. I think the song might be too long but I'm not quite certain. 3/4
Overall- 5.5/10 Could've been a lot better.

Don't Cha
Steps- Hate the early eighth note runs that should have syncopation. Hate the runs with jumps in them. Doublestepping is bad. Runs go to nothing. Ending is abrupt. Not so good. 2/6
Everything Else- omg dsfargeg. good though. 3/4
Overall- 5/10 Ehh...

Emerald Sword (note: if this review looks biased it's because Emerald Sword is one of my favourite songs ever)
Steps- Pretty good. Didn't get some of the rhythms but it was alright overall. 5/6
Everything Else- Omg video. Good BG. I think it was offsync though, as I couldn't fix it just through manual offset screwing around. 3.5/4
Overall- 8.5/10 Love this song, steps aren't bad at all.

Endless Journey
Steps- Steps start too early, but doesn't matter on SM. I actually liked the syncopated doublestepping. There should've been 24ths earlier on and near the middle. Pretty average overall. 3/6
Everything Else- Not bad. 4/4
Overall- 7/10 Averagish.

I'll do the other half later.
