Cyberdevil's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Episode 45 - The Countdown Begins & etc.]

Such an unusual and awkward amount of mutual compliments in this one. XD

It's sad to see y'all actually coming to a close with these episodes, was expecting at least something like 20-30 years of almost-weekly new artist interviews and recommendations non-stop, but with those schedules: understandable. I work thirty hour weeks myself and still feel like there's not enough time in a day. 48 hours ain't little!

Congrats on the UOTW too! Also we need some better clarity with the guidelines regarding live action. I guess they might not want to state clearly that it's not allowed because of exceptions like this, though. There's always been LA stuff around here, staff-submitted no less, yet it's an animation niche place these days so... strange situation to be in. Maybe they could just set a line now and make all earlier LA stuff the exceptions. But no more. But that'd be a bummer too...

Anyway I'd like to thank y'all for the steady stream of entertainment and submission-wise enlightenment this past year, and whatever new projects you'll be partaking in next I hope to jot down some thoughts of those too! And maybe, in a far off future, like in half a year or so, life situations and schedules may change and ACOCK will reflate and rise again...?

There'll always be that vague hope. Until maybe then... and thanks for the mention!

[2020 Visions]

What an unexpected electronic trip this was! One of those Bohemian level mixes, it just all blends together so perfectly... miniature album packed in a track. Wasn't expecting this style either but really not bad.

[Hot!]

Can't wait for the eighties to get back into the mainstream too, even if you weren't born back then you just can't not like the vibe. Feels like the epitome of: pop. And jazzy, funky, dreamy, smooth, but not too predictable either. It's got that something.

[Super Mario 3 (ITWYW)]

Even better than the last one. :) Wish y'all put up more of your music stuff, if you're still making this stuff...

[Sonic Boss A Cappella (TIWYW)]

Genius. XD That bawk bawk bawk sound lmao. Imagine playing the game with a soundtrack like this... actually loops too.

-cd-

[Nightbirds Jingle Bells]

Ambient, jazzy, and festive in the best possible way! Really well put together, and seems almost like a real orchestra behind the instruments too... is it? Proper work.

[Episode 44 - A Very (Late) ACOCk Christmas]

Aye the spotlight's really on GoodL in this one! And yet he's not even in the credits... wutt? Just ninjamuffin. Did y'all switch accounts or something...? May be there is certain credibility to that seemingly conspiratorial TheDyingSun theory O_o

Might've been one of the most confusing episodes in a while, a fair bit of talking over yourselves too, but fun to listen to. Glad you got something out for the season too.

Also glad you got that live action thing back on, Congrats on the UNCSA entry littlbox (!!!) and Hell Yeah the Raziberry Manga-ka episode was great, very relatable, glad you finally brought him into the mentions. I didn't realize I'd actually been actively partaking in storytime animation before you mentioned that he is one...

Hell yeah again for Andersson187 but... what happened to the track? :/ Thought we'd finally get some Swedish music up in here. Someone better register whoistherealtomfulp.com and also Merry Christmas y'all. Good fun.

[Bounce]

Pretty fresh instruments with this one, unorthodox, nice. Just still waiting for a living; breathing progression all the way.

[Light]

Ambient, light, airy... I like these. It's just the time span that feels a bit oddly chosen, like a teaser for things to come, a build and a long bridge and a fade at the end... maybe try some shift along the way? Something longer? Nothing wrong with the sound though.

[Waterfall]

Jazzy! It reminds me of Jurian's older work, ambient and classy... uplifting, permeating. Feels like it ends almost too soon but I love the vibe.
