Cyberdevil's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Shake It]

This is a really smooth melody. I popped it up to review it but now it's been playing in the background while I did other things for quite some time. It's one of those melodies that fills you with energy without really distracting. Great, consistent beat and a smooth sound. The vocals weren't very noticable either, they just weaved in well with the music. Nice work!

[Over]

This sounds almost like dubstep at times. Plenty of variation, plenty of intensity, plenty of industrialism and a steady beat in the background that somehow makes me think of Daft Punk. Wonder where the similarity lies though. I like the build-up towards the end especially. It sounds good!

PYROMANCERband responds:

Thanks a lot man! Daft Punk is (of course) one of my favorites so there's no stopping them from creeping in on the finer ends of production time. Good call!

[WIP5.3]

I like the melody, and the oldskool VG style this has to it, but it feels the sounds are a bit sharp overall, especially at the start when there aren't any other layers backing them up. The melodic twist is nice though, and the background beat, and the peaks around :40. Towards the end, the sound kind of evolves from sharp to fuller, a nice strengthening transition even though I wish the beginning wasn't so cutting. It ends a bit abruptly, but I guess that's why it's WIP. Looking forward to the finished version!

Thank you for the review! ^^

[Armed With Dental Drills]

I really like the beat in this, once it kicks in. The shakers get a bit monotone but everything else has a nice dark fluency to it. I can't really find the link between this and dentists, which I have a particular phobia for, it's actually a nice and ambient track. Simple melody, smooth sound. Great listening!

-cd-

ScottJacob responds:

Thanks man, glad you enjoyed it. Yeah, the title is a weird one. Basically i had in mind aliens landing andd invading earth armed with dental drills. Which i too have a massive phobia of the dentist office.

[Echo Test 1]

Sounds like that device didn't manage to capture this as well as the other recording. Still good guitar play, though!

-cd-

BlackAngel1384 responds:

Again, thank you! yea, one was with some serious distortion and the other was pretty much clean. If i can get myself some good recording stuff i will see about other players and some good recording. I am just a hobby player. =)

[Echo Test 2]

Considering this was recorded on a phone, it really doesn't sound that bad (quality-wise). The rhythm itself is steady and catchy, and only starts skipping a bit around the end. Would be great to hear this with a few layers or other instruments. Nice work!

-cd-

BlackAngel1384 responds:

Appreciate it! If I can find some other people to play with I will def get some serious stuff kicking, but i was just messing around with some power chords and whatnot and kinda dug the way this sounded. Thanks again =)

[The Ultimate DooM intro Remake]

Nice work! It's exactly a short introduction like this that I was looking for. It's got that nice doomy/spooky tone to it as well. Good work!

-cd-

[Intro: Sexual-Lobster]

That auto tune is just way out of tune, hah, but all the same it entertains. The audacity of it. :D

-cd-

deathink responds:

Yeah... he made 4 lines and intended that I choose the best one... but I ended up keeping them all :D

[Gdub Got This ft KingKilo]

Dope flow prime rhyme I zone my mind fine lines psyche climbs grime glow grind time. Bit too much dickening almost getting sickening, stereotype in content but the words are wittily mixing in. Two minutes to vent all, background experimental, percussion sounds thin but the bass (?) is really mental. Inspiration... now I've spent all. Continuation in the forum of regular unrhymable review: The breathing is a bit noticeably at the beginning, but apart from that it's a great flow all the way, and a fitting voice, deep and raspy. Sound quality is clear and the words easy to hear. Keep it going!

-cd-

[(8-bit) A Labor of Love]

This is a nice tune, melodic and ambient. I like the saw/static noise and the way the bleeps echo, makes it feel oldskool even though it's definately noy 8-bit sound. It's a bit slow overall, but there's plenty of variation and a great beat that keeps tripping in the background. Perfect background music, steady and rythmic. Would fit nicely in some RPG like Cave Story. Keep it going!

-cd-

NoStereo responds:

Thanks so much for the exellent review Cyber :D. Also it's such an honor to be compared to Cave Story. I idolize that game and it's soundtrack! See you around :)
