Cyberdevil's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Suburban Sunset]

Seeing the city image on the disc spin as I listen, I imagine I'm parachuting out of control, somersaulting through the sky in a sunset dive where my body does little to bring up a barrage of air that might slow my fall. It goes round and round, and what comes around goes around and round... were it not for the unintentional motion of said thumb I'd probably imagine a sunset on ground-level though, dusty and Earthbound, not really slow or eventless, but with a good dose of control. Feels like confidence. Also nice ending, abrupt but fitting.

S3C responds:

oh cool I thought I was the only who disabled the visualizer. Interesting; I cannot say I had that story in mind when creating the song lol, but the spinning icon is acutely described there. Thanks for the review!

[Don't Want to Go to Work]

The soundtrack behind that masterpiece. :D Sound quality's a lot better here too, and it was Five Guys huh, I hope I'll never have to work at a fastfood place, seems you're not alone with those impressions.

[I Wish I Knew Her Name]

I really enjoyed this one; maybe cause I'm in the melancholy contemplative mood it seems this was made for, mellow yet somber, a journey through life, drifting, riding, going somewhere but never getting there, it's what I picture I'd hear when I sit in the backseat of a car, looking out the window at shapes and shadows in the dark - vague landscapes passing by. This inspired my poem of the day too, felt like a think cap, something to bring forth strange thoughts and emotions. Kinda sad, but really nice. And Congrats on the 10 weeks so far!

S3C responds:

glad you like this one, thanks for the review. I really like your descriptions too. I'll check your poem, @ CybderD/p2016 I assume. and thanks! about a fifth the way there.

[The Montenegrin Spy]

I do hear those melodic minors, giving it a mellow sense of mystery! At the beginning, it sounds a bit like elevator music, but when the improv kicks in the atmosphere shifts a bit. Overall mellow and easy listening, and a background loop where the loop isn't all that noticeable unless you really try to hear it. I feel like Latin music would be a bit fiercer, somehow? It's a nice tune, ambient; easy.

S3C responds:

elevator music is typically latin! look up a Bossa Nova, they are typically laid back. Thanks for the review!

[Transcending]

A pretty nice piece, mellow and atmospheric, and nice build-up towards the end though, though it gets almost too loud there. Feels like a change of pace or melody would've made this piece complete. Keep it going!

[Offline]

Awesome rhythm. Really gets the energy flowing! Interesting shift with of sound towards the middle too, the 'dumm dumm dumm' in particular. Nice work!

Thank you so much for the wonderful comment! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
The song that I put the least effort into is the most popular ;)
Isn't that ironic?

[Productions]

A pretty massive piece! Starts mellow and ambient, but goes to a whole other level pretty quick! Trippy; catchy mesh of sound, with what feels like a pretty unique melody. Nice work.

[The Sheriff's Left Town]

Hmm, I do hear some dusty prairie here, but more than a showdown in a dusty saloon, it feels like the kind of music you'd here in a 60-70s action flick with a group of afro-wielding Americans scoping out a bank just before a heist... or driving down a dusty country road right after... or entering a noble Casino in the deserted outskirts of Nevada for a classy con.... or on an old steam roller rolling up the river... or something like that. I image the saloon music would be a bit slower, without so much strumming; not so bright. Nevertheless, twas a classy tune! Blue and moody and groovy and uplifting all at the same time. Cool strings.

-cd-

S3C responds:

haha, busted a rib at the "afro-wielding Americans" reference. I can hear the 60-70s rock influence...not sure if that's what you are implying but it's funny all the same. nice visuals; thanks for the review Bobby

[Since Love Immemorial]

A soft and mellow tune this time, and no background loop... is it two layers of improv this time? One layer of almost slap-bass-like guitar; one of regular? They sync together nicely; build up a really chill tune, very easy-listening, has a funky feel to it too, and a little bit of that Spanish-type-guitar-play I don't know the name of. Really liked this one, feels like something I could have on loop all day and not get tired of. Good stuff!

-cd-

S3C responds:

Actually there is a background loop, but glad to hear it was less noticeable this time!
I don't hear any Spanish influences in here (Flamenco? far from it lol) but the slap-guitar was a good descriptive tag for this style that I was looking for, thanks! Well, glad you liked this one! Thanks for another review!

[Super Mario Theme]

A classy reinterpretation of an old classic. :D Melodical, mellow and moderately jumpy. Nice work!
