Cyberdevil's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Better Than The Book - Bump In The Night (Radio Edit)]

What a banger! Clever lyrics, surprise solo, uplifting vibes overall. :) Real nice way to end the initial trilogy; even out the hype here... and it seems we actually will get to hear some of these edits on the radio too now! :D

Looking forward to hearing the rest of these!

Jabun responds:

Cheers CD! Super happy you liked this one too! That solo although not super flashy is one of my favourite ones to date :) Yup this is a first for me too! All 3 singles getting on the radio (and getting NG front page awards) before the album's even out yet! Exciting times ahead :D Thanks again for checking in!

You definitely got the beat specifically locked in. :) Compared to early Waterflame... I think there may be a certain melodic element missing here though, both a bit more prominent melody, and a bit more range with the sound, a different kind of synth maybe.

This does remind me a bit of the Endless Handbag Loop though, which is peak NG too! I'm just not really getting the WaterFlame vibe entirely.

Looking forward to hearing more man! I like the style.

[Cassy’s Anniversary!: The Jukebox!]

This was unexpectedly good. :) Thought The Ballad of Bullshit would be my favorite but then again... each one keeps surprising, or surpassing; all have so unique styles to boot. Jazzy, atmospheric, soothing, VG-like, sappy happy upbeat and/or fast and all but crappy! Great stuff from the start. Nice backstory too.

Dope work y'all.

The songs are great, but the backstory to me is A S S

[Centipede's Sanctuary Instrumental]

Gas yo, definitely gas!

Love the energy here. Guitar sounds amazing, drums pale a bit in comparison; feel a bit machine-like for most of the track, but overall this a banger! Impressive first!!!

[Distortion]

This is like a genre in itself, I don't know if really is Techno or no, very interesting mix of genres and instrumental style, definitely has a metal element to it too!

Feels like the composition could have a bit more continuity maybe; a structure that carries it throughout, and a bit more space in the mix. But A+ for the detail! There's so much in this...

Nice work.

[Cartola's Freedom (Instrumental)]

So soulful; so good. :) Interesting backstory on the artist too below...

Good stuff!

CasualBreather responds:

Thx a lot, you know more details about that ahah!

The instrumental's so vibrant in this one, lots of space with the mix, very nice... and the rap schemes; wording's complex, really liked the 'no promoting, cannabidiol' line in particular.

Fire work y'all! And a sudden groove shift halfway through too, yet seamless... soulful.

It fades away a bit quick at the end maybe... but until then 🔥

Nice work, production and composition both.

CasualBreather responds:

Thanks a lot for the good and detailed review!!!

[104 followers PokeRap!!!]

Man you've got PIPES! :D And pace! This was fantastic dude, the initiative too, can't wait till you're up at like 20,000 fans; get a real megamix of this going!

-cd-

CasualBreather responds:

Thanks a lot! Man 100 is already a lot! 20,000 in a PokeRap megamix would probably be my last song ever! xd

[-1999- (Pico Day)]

Definitely reminds me of the old NG. :) It's like Endless Handbag Loop and Neo Geo type arcade music mixed together, lots of oldskool sounding samples, vocals and other (the watergun or squeak-like sounds in the back - no idea what those are called XD)...

I didn't even notice the Amen breaks though! I should have, those are classics too...

When it's over you wish it was longer - or looped, but nice work man, very true to the era; style too. :)

[GTGP2]

Man this was FAST occasionally! Great flow; energetic groove too, I probably don't catch all the references but gotta love the GTA3 stuff in particular! :D Good memories there.

Good mix too! Rich sound.

-cd-

CasualBreather responds:

Thank you so much! So glad you comment into the mix positively, we actually put way more effort in this one mix after a few ... mid mixing in previous NGMC entries.
Yeah GTA3 was so dope, one of the first 3D open world, truly a milestone in gaming xd!
