Cyberdevil's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Eneverse]

Maybe there's something wrong with my speakers, but I don't notice the clipping at all. It's a nice and jumpy melody, though the peaks do feel a bit sharp. A smooth and vibrant tune, nice work!

[Establish]

This is a pretty nice tune, slow and ambient, but not without variation or rhythm. I like how it picks up occasionally too, and the transitions are smooth. Makes me feel like I'm riding a train, looking out a window, and occasionally it speeds up, or crosses a bridge, or some amazing view passes by. It's a trip! Nice work.

[VisionaRy - Unstoppable]

A pretty chill and melodic tune this one, the melody starts to get a bit monotone after a while, but I like the rhythm. Some variation and this could be pretty awesome!

Thanks for the feedback!

[Wack That Schmuck]

Definitely getting a whiff of that wacky atmosphere here. :) In my vision, Jimmy makes a run for it, leaping across construction site girders in a desperate attempt to get away, yet ultimately getting shit in the shoulder and plummeting to his inescapable death four hundred feet below... but what happened to the body? The ground lies barren and dry below, and Jimmy is nowhere to be found.

Interesting how the addition of a backstory changes the way you perceive the track, and I love that build-up towards the end, letting this play like a movie in my mind made for a pretty exciting finale at that point! Nice work, and an interestingly grungy style of sound this time around.

S3C responds:

lol @ that typo. Nice scenario! It's better than a story that I was trying to write out. Thanks for the review! Glad you like the buildup.

[A Certified Hip Feel]

I must admit, the first half a minute or so had me wondering if I'd really get into the groove. It felt a bit messy, unstructured, and not like the different instruments really synced. But as another half a minute passed those impressions faded away.

Makes me wonder if the combination's an acquired taste, or if everything just comes together better and better the further it goes. I like the added atmospheric layers towards the end especially. It's a funky collective, with a festive feeling to it! Nice music.

S3C responds:

thanks for the review! it's a loose, funky groove.

[That Boondock Bang]

I definitely catch the Souther-flavor in this one! Though not so sure about the metal. The beginning has me thinking of snakes and aligators, of wet mangrove swamps and shrimp boats, snakeskin boots, tough guys and decorative hats that obscure the eyes. And then it gets a little Spanish flare, and I feel like I'm on a dusty square in Mexico, a dry American walking up to a fountain for some water, but there's nothing there! The spectators gather with glasses of tequila and lime, and jeer him on as he quests for something to quench his thirst. *poof* Pepsi commercial. Well, I like! Twas a gritty, groovy; granular tune.

-cd-

S3C responds:

i'm not sure about the metal either, it certainly isn't heavy, but genres are amorphic so I might as well use any interpretive freedom to my advantage. I felt the downbeat heavy rhythm, drop D tuning, and usage of power chords was enough to loosely categorize this track as a type of alternative metal. Good review! It's good that you got that Southern swampy visual out of this track, so did I. Spanish influences are always a welcomed quality, but again I'm not hearing much of that here lol. Would make for a good Latino Pepsi commercial, where that dry American is Donald Trump. something like Robert DeNiro's character in Machete, maybe.

[Sympathetic Fallacy]

Moving; full of mellow metamorphosis. A very soft and sympathetic tune to listen to!

-cd-

S3C responds:

short but sweet review, thanks for listening in!

[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.

-cd-

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.
