Cyberdevil's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Nevada Slam]

Woo man, this is awesome. It's not the Madness-style music I expect when I listen to something madness related, but it's awesome music, fastpaced, varied, with a jazzy and energetic melody. Would fit nicely in a Madness animation, but still I can't really hear the theme. Nice work!

[The Time Before Madness]

Sounds like Madness alright. Nice tension in the music, nice variation in the pace with the beat kicking in occasionally. It'd be the perfect fit for Madness movies/games. Nice work!

DESHIEL responds:

Thank you.

[Danmaku]

Trippy, but full of energy. I like the beat that occasionally speeds up and really keeps the music fastpaced all the way through. It's a pretty smooth mesh, both ambient and energetic. Keep it going!

[Yellow Orange Afternoon]

Sitting on a porch just sipping tea... is what I image while listening to this. Somehow I can't get the image of tea out of my mind, Yellow Orange just makes me think of Yellow Lable and Lipton Orange. :) Tasty music, jazzy; atmospheric. Nice work!

[A Thousand Years (Cover)]

It is pretty good, smooth and melodic. With the word Cover in the title I was expecting some song too... but indeed that's not really needed in a cover. Nice work!

[Vinstigator vs. LTrane 2]

A great battle debut, it's pretty intense. First verse is OK, the second one much better. Feels like some words are just thrown in the mix at first, like snitch. Would've been better with something to back up the accusation. And the 'man you from the south you should be huntin' alligators' followed by 'those are cold-hard-facts'? If there is a dis somewhere in that, or a connection, I'm not getting it. :P Second verse is great though, nothing to comment on. Looking forward to more future battles!

[The Carmine Dragon alternated]

Sounds good, intense from the start, varied, full of energy. The melody reminds me of some game but I can't recall which one... some Mortal Kombat theme maybe. It's a sinister tune, Asian-ish... I like the trippy beat. Not sure how I like the ringing sound that constantly pierces through the background ambiance, but apart from that it's great. Keep it going!

DESHIEL responds:

Thank you for the review... I didn't know that it may sound asianish but it I did listen to some anime soundtracks recently.

[Graffiti Bongos]

This is a funky beat, smooth and rhythmical, oldskool and industrial. After the first twentyfive seconds or so it becomes a bit bland though, maybe due to a lack of bass. The experimental hit-hats and other stuff towards the end is pretty funky, I can imagine this in a track. Nice work!

JimmyTheCaterpillar responds:

You are glorious.

[CLAB - Vinstigator vs Pachilli]

Woo, tough round! Pachillis is killing it with a bit of a silly witt, yet Vinstigator's ill with a grip like a zillion zits.

Vinstigator starts it off great, intense as always, but not with that spectacular disses; they don't always rhyme which factors in much in how it sounds in a boat of rounds... at least for me. The flow is perfect though, and quick. I'm not sure I like the spoken word, Pachillis, but the verse is great, plenty of disses that hit, others guarded against, all with a supreme rhyme scheme... and the Lex Luther finale was neat.

Vinstigator's back with a vengeance in the second verse, even better flow and attitude, but it ends abruptly, no punchline at the end, and in the end it seems like that added attitude actually works against you. Pachillis humorously picks up where he left off, adds some double-time that actually fits in, and a strong ending too, though not true. :P Great verses both of you. The disses are pretty equal, the spoken word not that great, but the rhymes/comedy/continuity leans in Pachillis favor.

My vote goes to Pachillis.
