Cyberdevil's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[(8-bit) A Labor of Love]

This is a nice tune, melodic and ambient. I like the saw/static noise and the way the bleeps echo, makes it feel oldskool even though it's definately noy 8-bit sound. It's a bit slow overall, but there's plenty of variation and a great beat that keeps tripping in the background. Perfect background music, steady and rythmic. Would fit nicely in some RPG like Cave Story. Keep it going!

NoStereo responds:

Thanks so much for the exellent review Cyber :D. Also it's such an honor to be compared to Cave Story. I idolize that game and it's soundtrack! See you around :)

[Frootza - Phantom]

This is a living track, different melodies layered upon each other that all seem to float together. It has a VG style to it as well, without really reminding me of any specific game. Though it does vary the overall pace and pitch is pretty much the same all the way through, occasionally a background layer gives it a soaring kind of sound, and the moments of silence are refreshing breaks, can't think of anything to improve. this would be perfect as background music in an RPG or space game. Nice work!

frootza responds:

Thanks a lot Cyberdevil! Means a lot.

I play lots of video games so I think I draw a lot of my inspiration from there but I combine it with the sounds you hear from industry artists as well.

[A Disaffected Youth Loop]

I guess I shouldn't give any props for the melody itself since it's technically not yours, but the loop turned out good, it loops perfectly, and it's long/ambient enough to not sound that monotonous either, even though it's so short. Nice work!

Psychopath responds:

Funnily enough this is the first attempt at a loop that I actually got to function right.

[Nirvana Cover - Negative Creep]

The guitar is good, and I like the way it starts, but the screams toward the end don't really fit. Maybe it's the sound quality that can't really capture them like they should be captured, because the overall song is good. Would be nice with some heavier music to match the voice though, keep it up!

Stereocrisis responds:

Thanks. I know, I wish I had a full band.

[Groove2This-Metaljonus]

Nice. It's a melodical and heavy track, starts off with a contrastingly ambient rise that would've made the heavy metal appearance pretty unexpected if it wasn't already mentioned as the genre. The sound quality is clear and grim, the guitar heavy, and the drums even more so. The drums really add a lot to this, enforcing the overall rythem and making it sound real brutal. Not much variation, but it's a good piece, fastpaced and brutal. Great work!

Metaljonus responds:

Thanks for the review! \m/

[Torpedo Kawaii - Dark Shk]

Indeed a shame about the quality. I have a bunch of tracks that suffered the same fate from back in the day. The overall melody is nice, and it picks up along the way. It's a dreamy adventurous theme. Sounds good, even though the sounds not that good! :)

Daiski responds:

Thanks for review.)

[Endless Friendship]

The jazzy piano mixes well with the beat and background melody. It really flares up at the start of the track, then calms down, and at the end there's a completely different instrument to stare the way. Sounds good! Doesn't sound like friendship (more like... adventure), but it's a great track! Keep it up!

Firefreezer responds:

Thanks man, I didn't own a midi keyboard in 2009 but I really wanted to make it sound freestyle-ish.
Thanks for the honest review! Peace!

[Knife-blades & Alleyways]

Sounds a bit more like industrial than dubstep, don't you think? The tin beats are nice, and the deep baseline that seems to get nervous towards the end of the track. Overall really industrial ambiance. Keep it up!

-cd-

Pink-Ninja responds:

Thank very much, I guess you could say it's industrial. Never really looked at it like that.

[[CS] Adventures in 70 bpm]

Nice.

This track has a really trippy ambient flow . I like the background beat and how it keeps skipping, and the surface melody with a very electronic feel to it. Smooth, clear yet wavering all the time. It toggles between an additional rythem that really adds speed to the track, but overall it's still calm and ambient. A feelgood melody. Nice work!

Unrl responds:

Hey man thanks for taking the time to listen and make some points, greatly appreciated! Cheers :)

[The Portraits]

Oh hey, it's a perfect loop! I read the creeypasta at almost the same pace as the music the first time around, and it fit right in, the setting in the story really syncs with the sound even though there's no real finale in the music, it just keeps going in the same half-creepy half-ambient tone. I probably read the story differently because of the music too, since I didn't realize how creepy the ending really was first time around. :D

Anyway, it's a nice track, perfect background music for really any beautiful/tragic/strange/creative/ins piring story. The strings that rise up occasionally add a lot to the background melody. Is the background only piano btw, or is there something more? It sounds like it's more, but I can only hear a piano. Overall great piece!

S3C responds:

yo thanks for the review CyberBob! yeah it's just a piano...plus the strings of course.
