Cyberdevil's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Incel Nosferatu]

I love the sound, with those almost Rob Zombie-like orchestral kinda layers behind the guitar and beat... but it does get a little repetitive!

Heavy and hellish; awesome overall, just... structure... feels like it could be a little more wholesome; varied; build into something different along the way.

I can see this working really way for a boss fight or similar though, where the variation's your own momentum... dope work.

Thankya!

Yeah, I've long struggled with repetitive patterns in my work. Getting better though.

Glad you enjoyed and voted generously. :)

Woo this was new! Wouldn't have taken this for a Waterflame track at all! Appreciate the variation, and the way you blend in those vocals... you can't help but bop to this.

Such a good track man! Would be cool to hear more like this. Another homage to the old days of the hip and hop and the dope boys on the dope blocks.

Production feels a bit flatter than usual but it's like that's a homage to the time too. It works.

And it's not all hip-hop either, you manage to give it a touch of your own too.

Very dope.

[Kill Bill x Rav- lovedrug (off that)]

What a vibe... was thinkin initially maybe not one with the most introspective or unique a theme, but top-notch delivery, though in the end... it wasn't your typical party song after all huh!

Appreciate the end twist, even if the upbeat vibe makes it feel like all is good all the way; maybe you don't catch the nuances so much.

The music's smooth and atmospheric. The vocal tone's on point. Soulful hooks too... wonder who does those? Who's who?

Dope work.

[Jontron Original Theme]

Short but punchy! It's a techno track with a bit of an original fare, for one of the icons around here. :)

Cool stuff. Wonder what happened around this span of time to merit a theme song like this...

Frequality responds:

Hello! or should I say Hejsan! ^^

Definitely too short, just as all my other tracks :P I start new objects all the time and never occur to finish them.. Well.. I have recently upgraded my computer to fit daily high standards and also upgraded my studio alot. Which in turn got me more interested in making new music and maybe actually finish them.

Well.. I made it back in 2009 just playing around for a few minutes while I still learned about FL Studio 9. ^_^

The best part is that I still have the original project file saved on all my harddrives today so I can update the song anytime.. I have plans to do so someday.. But first I want to make new tracks so fans will have to wait abit longer! <3

[untitled ambient]

Nice and atmospheric... the melody may be a little repetitive, but maybe since it seems to be played by hand; maybe because it fluctuates a bit in tactile response and tone it doesn't ever sound that way, feels adventurous and eerie, feels like something that'd work well as background music in a movie or game...

The extra bass/not-sure-what-instrument-that-is in the high point was a nice shift too.

Very cool. Ambient and smooth. Musical and cinematic.

Works so well as background music too...

[coulda shoulda woulda]

Trippy. :) You do manage the industrial sound but I'm not sure about the structure, it doesn't really make me immerse myself, it more so jumps here and there, as if a patchwork of individual beats more so than a full composition...

You do add in some interesting layers in the second half, and enhance the atmosphere a little there, but it's still... not all the way there.

Track length's good but could use a bit more structure/maybe more layers IMO.

[A Call for Adventure (2020)]

I love that quote, and the music, man, the music...

It's captivating this one! The atmosphere's definitely there, the sound quality's crystal and clear, it takes its time to build properly, the first half's a bit more ominous and the second a bit more bright... almost in style with classic start-up screen sounds, like say the PSX era splash screens, but comparing it to that doesn't really do it justice.

This is majestic man. Very cool. Though it does remind me of things it feels original too - you definitely have your own style when you do these!

-cd-

[Spiders]

Love the tone. Both vocals and guitar remind me of the Croc 2 soundtrack for some reason, which as far as atmosphere goes is maybe one of my favorite compositions of all-time...

It's short! But it's so good. The delivery's so perfect too. Words on beat - you even double-time it occasionally! Like with the 'louder sounds' and 'getting into fights'. The words are great. Everything is great. I'm pretty impressed, seriously. May keep this on loop a bit.

Don't share the phobia but if I play this enough times hmm I wonder...

-cd-

[Dance of the Dragonfly]

A vibrant and atmospheric tune! Love the energy, that icy tingle of cool wind that all good trance/dance/such songs seem to encompass somehow...

The structure's great. Keeps you bopping all the way through, despite a pretty impressive track length, even if I do wish the beat itself would vary itself occasionally... it really is a banger as far as the genre goes though!

Thorough work.

[Mario Paintin' - The Way Too Long Version (2020)]

All those character voices. XD And not just voices, but instruments, I wonder which characters the instruments relate or, or wait maybe it's more so samples, all in-game ones?

This is cool, super-original idea, though it dooees get a little monotone in the latter... three fourths or so of it all! And indeed fades away abruptly when it's over...

Still is pretty soothing though...

I love the idea. Fun thing.
