Cyberdevil's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[DJ Ses - Scream My Name]

Hmmm this feels a little overloaded on autotune man. :) The chops and transitions are pretty cool, but overall I'm just not a huge fan of this style, and it feels like skewing too much with the vocals also makes it hard to catch the words properly.

The beat's banging; the flow's good, but I'm just not vibing as well with this as I think I could with a bit more clarity and consistent tone.

Seems like a preferential thing though! Some do love this.

[Battle]

Solid, brooding; unassuming but almost orchestral-like battle track! Good stuff.

[Mariana]

So atmospheric.

I can definitely hear the ocean in this, and a reverberating albeit slightly ominous openness, or emptiness, a vast expanse of something greater; concluding, consuming, alluding... though the further it goes it seems the more you get in tune with the pace and tone; settle in peacefully after all. A sense of death maybe not being so bad after all; floating in an empty space, in solace but not loneliness, in certainty and calm...

Holding hands with the void would've been an awesome album name too @CoolioShootyMane! :D So suitable too.

This was great. Looking forward to hearing how the whole album flows together; feels as a whole.

Jabun responds:

Thanks so much CD! Indeed really looking forward to seeing what people think of the whole album; it's quite the journey! Thanks again for listening and only a few days until release time now!

[Vestik - Tricky's Vengeance ft. MonoCronic]

It's got an air of crazy to it this one! I love the vibe, though sometimes feel I maybe wish it'd speed up a little and get properly chaotic. It does at the end a bit, but for the most part keeps a very steady and intentional pace. How would it be if it occasionally jumped a bit, or skipped a beat, mixed it up a little with the madness?

Dope work here though! I can definitely see this working well in a game...

vestik responds:

Ooooh yeah! You're right, I'll keep that in mind. =)

[-Glorious morning-]

What a great song... latter half's giving me some serious Paragon X9 vibes but don't recall the particular track, I wonder who inspired who hmm, maybe same inspiration for both of these..

Indeed a glorious; benevolent little piece. Catchy, proud and hoppy like a castle poppy.

-cd-

[Tranced Loop]

Really smooth... could maybe have a more defining melody to it, feels like the notes go a bit all over the place, but could definitely see it used for something... atmospheric.

[[SoYM] Your mother hates you]

Edgy. :P But VA potential here too hmm... clean recording quality too.

GraywulfDaDolf responds:

Thanks! I’m trying to make an album of songs about your mom, and the only recording “tools” I have is an Apple EarPods microphone and a copy of GarageBand for iOS. Strange how it came out decently, but I’m not complaining.

[My voice reel 2022]

Well this was fun. XD Might feel a bit more professional if you have a script ready, and edit the audio a little after recording, cut out bits where you warm up and transition between voices, but overall it ain't bad! You've got potential. :) Hope you get some small roles for starters and keep improving! Finna be interesting to hear how far you've come in a few years.

Or months. Years maybe excessive. Potential fast improvement. :P

Bluerasb3rry responds:

Aw thanks bud

[Underwater]

Ambient and fluent, with a slightly boxed in sound as if overswept by oceanic blue... current and in hue... I like the softness, though feel like this kind of ambience could've also been light and sparkly, and possibly even more appealing that way...

But really cool. Symbolism true.

-cd-

[my dad's name is chuck]

Cobain would probably have enjoyed this too. XD Absurdist humor, rhyming skills and musical ensemble on point for the most part of it! Possibly a little overly chaotic outro.

What a great name too. Chuck this track at him and say he's awesome as J Statham.
