Cyberdevil's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Nol's Therapy Mansion - Episode One]

It starts well! Wasn't sure it'd really reel me in at first, but it did after all! Feels like there's a little narrative clutter with the stutter sometimes, but overall it flows well, feels authentic, when the sound effects start - or at least when I first really noticed them, with the pelting rain and car tires screeching... that really adds a lot to the atmosphere. Solid production! Good volume/balance too.

As for the story I suppose it'll just get better from here on out. :) Looking forward to seeing where it all leads, and what those collaborative story-writing efforts garner. If you need any additional vocal cameos later on that mine might contribute to feel free to reach out.

Awesome initiative with this; refreshing with a more story-based podcast too. think it might actually be the first one of that type that I listen to.

[LABS]

Beautiful. :) Feels like the first aaaaa faded a bit abruptly, and maybe the second bit could've trailed on longer too, but the bits that matter are magical... appreciable orchestral beat towards the end as well. Would be cool to see this used for some majestic animation.

yagru responds:

i'm hoping someone wants to use it in a movie or game myself!!! thanks for the review :D

[Vanilla - Visions (ThePal Remix)]

Got some ASMR-like stuff going on with the keyboard-like clickery in the background for the first bit... really smooth ambience overall, shifts nicely, doesn't always move the way you expect it to. I love the shift around 1:45 in particular. So radiant. Tune that soothes and moves your mind...

ThePal responds:

music has the power to make you 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭, escape from reality and just not care about anything else for a few minutes, and I strive to make those minutes a journey people won't forget. ✨

reviews like these are the best motivational boost I can get!
thank you so much for the kind words, I'll continue to improve and make more music in the future, so check in once in a while. 👌

[Botched Break]

So fluent and freeing this one. :) Love the vibe.

[-Adventure Booze- (Master mix!)]

It does sound like adventure! :D Feels like it somewhat loses a thread somewhere along the way though, starts so great and energetic but after a polished intro it all gets a little maybe too crazy, with multiple melodies that fight for focus... for a bit. The breaks were nice though. The mood's definitely uplifting. It seems long and ambitious. Just a little too messy for me for a large part of it; maybe a little sharp a main instrumental too, seems to take over/drown out the beat a bit.

[Turing Machine]

This was awesome. Imagine a full album like this hmm..

-cd-

Jabun responds:

Thanks so much CD! Each track on the album is quite different with this being probably the least chill one :) Only a month left to wait until all is revealed!

[Killer RAT - Cold And Lovely]

Heavy stuff. :) I love that intro, love the riffs, appreciate the rhyme structure of the lyrics too, but feel like length-wise structure doesn't always match, some words get stretched out in lack of syllables, rhythmically not always perfect, a little low voice during the bridge/third verse, and voice overall a little strained but...

Overall these are getting pretty good. Dark

-cd-

guyfromKillerRAT responds:

yes I wanted it all to rhyme except for few lines. I didn't practice this song before singing it. Just sang each part in a different take and stitched it all together

[The Purge]

Getting some Ghost in the Shell vibes with the background vocals in bits of this, or other vibes, Prodigy vibes maybe? Can't quite place similarity. I love the way it starts, I love the element of grunge and repetition, the heaviness especially in those first riffs, but as it goes on... not really feeling like it leads anywhere, and it just doesn't suck me in as I imagine it could have.

Maybe a little too much House element for my preference. Gets repetitive, even with certain pauses/variation between segments, rather than changing pace entirely and really building or breaking down. The beat keeps going...

Still a solid track but would've been cool with some kind of pace modification/twist IMO.

-cd-

DESHIEL responds:

Thanks, I am a huge sucker for this kind of repetitiveness, when the "best moment" goes on and on and on, but I was concerned that it might be disappointing or downright annoying to someone else.

The influence you hear should be months of listening to DooM and Unreal Tournament soundtracks :)

[Euro-Tried!]

Wonder if this particular genre is synonymous to the content for some people hmm. Good vibes though! Icy, smooth sound, reminds a little of Basshunter...

[endless handbAG POOP]

It's like Endless Handbag and Club A Seal combined somehow.

Epic indeed. Surprisingly catchy. Also very curious how this was actually done, can't tell if it's a sample or recording or something else entirely...

recording vocals and manipulated with soundbooth
