Cyberdevil's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Poop Miser]

Oh man. XD I'm sure some people would love this one...

There's a bit much audial pooping going on for me, but I love how classy the composition is considering the theme. Lyrics are masterful, backing vocals, brass and everything... top class. Poop Miser sure manages a fair share of emotion in it too! You can really feel the misery. XD

If this is based on a true story though maybe consider a gluten-free diet or something! Personally that worked wonders for me.

Good shit y'all.

[Sudden Strife]

Now this is battle music! :D

Refreshingly airy and chiptuned, with plenty of concurrent grooves playing over each other... it reaches both that point of crisis and of resolution too. Keeps going, keeps growing; keeps the battle brewing throughout...

Would love to hear this play in a game too. Proper track.

Love the end in particular. Properly climactic for a while; quick tone down.

Sound quality's just flawless too. Console ready!

[°°Keeping Secrets°°]

It ain't the longest song but charming. :) And loops perfectly too... pretty impressive how seamlessly this keeps going if you just let it play and play...

Catchy melody too! Would be cool to hear a more full-length version of this, but as it is it ain't bad man!

Fun little thing. Good groove too; good percussion.

[Can't Let U Go]

A little loud and screechy innit... I like the melody overall, but the sound design feels a bit loud overall. Reminds me of Polyphia's style of playing, but louder, to the point of clipping a bit much it seems. Might just be the sound design, but it feels a bit harsh on the ears.

The production's intricate otherwise. The vocal samples appreciable subtle and soft... it's a good track, just doesn't agree that well with my ears on the louder parts.

Overall solid! Rich sound overall.

[Conflict Within]

Slow, brooding, yet with a hopeful tone... then that grand 'woosh' as you start marching onto war with those demons of yours. The brewing brooding. Resuming soon in.

The melody overall seems a bit repetitive occasionally, but I love the style. The jazzy piano, the choir, the triangle-like percussion detail, the intricacies of the composition overall... it floats together in a good way.

Seems like there's much more to the sound design here than meets your ear the first time you hear it! And the mix is clear. Good balance.

Thank you for the kind words :)

[STUCK (instrumental ver.)]

I could see this melody getting stuck in my head pretty easily too. XD

It's catchy, atmospheric, vibrant too... I like the simple tinker with the repeated keys on the same notes, you'd think it seemed too easy but it works so well with this, somehow seems to make it even catchier.

The sound quality's cool and the build's captivating.

Great track.

[Remorse]

Feels like I recognize the melody from somewhere hmm... both the melody and the pitch; the type of sound, but maybe not in this exact arrangement after all...

The music goes well with the theme of the song, and yet it seems you move past through the remorse too, with an almost victory-like kind of melody beyond the slower parts. It's a nice contrast.

Feels like the production quality could be a bit more vibrant sometimes. It is initially, it seems to vary with the different instruments and sections, the victory strings in particular don't feel quite as vibrant as the keys in the intro; in the parts I correlate most to the remorse.

Great track though.

Bendivad responds:

Oh wow thanks for the feedback lol, yeah these were really silly tracks I threw together as proof of concepts for a certain style I was going for.
Might make more in the future with this in mind :)

[Djdub - evil (Cridexx's Remix)]

Aw yeah the atmosphere in this one! ´The initial build, psychedelic like a sci-fi movie, the little glitch effect just as it's about to start for real...

It keeps the atmosphere all the way through too; you stay with it and keep the energy throughout.

Great track. Solid production quality too.

-cd-

[Cyberattack]

Now I definitely do feel a certain kinship to this. :D

And the music went way further than I'd expect it to. It bridges; it moves onto entirely different styles occasionally... all the while holding that ominous 'attack' aspect of it all intact.

The production's great, and it's impressive you let it run as long as you do too, still manage to keep it fresh all the way through. When it ends... it feels like it truly has run it's course entirely.

Great track.

-cd-

[fragments]

Love the glitch effects in the breaks and bridges, for example around the 1:20 point... so intricate.

The strings that kick in briefly after that are rejuvenating too, and the music overall both lucid and moving. Sound great. Builds and breaks and keeps on going throughout. Rich track overall.

I can't quite make out the vocal samples, they're far back in the mix but... they do mesh well with the track overall, so maybe that's a good thing; they become a part of the bigger picture that way.

Good stuff. The title works well with the quick transitions; diversity.
