Cyberdevil's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[idiot]

This goes stupid hard hmm. :) Makes me think of some game, some arcade theme... wait maybe I'm just thinking of Paragonx9? Or chainsaw_09... VG techno trance type stuff a la back in the day here.

Anyway this is cool. Very different from the usual too...

Father-of-Death responds:

we gotta work on somethin sometime, when ever the planets align.

[No Name]

I like this. :) Good beat, good progression, a rich sound, a creative beat... it almost has an industrial tone to it too. Like a factory, or a train signal, like something mechanical... especially towards the end. Has potential for audio too hmm... really experimental; cool groove.

I have no idea what genre this is either. XD Experimental maybe... it does have guitar but it doesn't really feel like Grunge. Alternative, Industrial, possibly...?

Either way good stuff!

stevetherapper responds:

lmao ty! and now that I think about it experimental probably fits this one best, lol

[Big Foot]

Smooth, ambient, a little jazzy... nice tune. A little simple and short maybe but: solid.

meltsteelbeams responds:

yo thanks mad preesh

[Forty Foot]

It's a grand jam. :) Appreciate the ambience. Nice work.

-cd-

Feynmar responds:

Thanks appreciate it! Was slightly wondering if people didn't like this one :')..

[Clocks on the Wall]

Surprisingly solid for a Clock Day submission! :P Ambient and smooth, vibrant, a groovy tune with plenty of room... wonder what the vocal sample says hmm, could it be something time related...

Nice work!

-cd-

NitroOrient responds:

Thank you!
The vocal(s) used is me and some friends singing a random song at school. The vocals alone became the basis for the whole song

[Red | 2019]

What a quote to begin this with! XD Your descriptions man... does that go hand in hand with the music? Did you make this with that in mind? Is it an afterthought or an intention that permeates the full piece? I wonder...

Again it's a really solid track, atmospheric and spacey, ominous at times but more so mysterious... early on I felt like it reminded me a bit of DOOM, but as it builds it certainly takes a different route entirely.

I do spell plenty of words so bad that Google has no idea what I'm trying to say. XD Usually that happens when I somehow manage to omit a whole syllable or so of the word, not just switch a single letter. For the most part it does do a pretty good job with those checks...

How to remove spaghetti from keyboard: primarily cloth or paper, I'd assume. XD Fascinating how as long as the structure and context remains similar you can read just about anything with ease, no matter the spelling. AI's still got a long way to go there!

I do appreciate that you wrote that sentence though. Your descriptions are something else - in the best way.

As was this music. A little monotone towards the end maybe but still such a journey...

Bertn1991 responds:

The description was just an impromptu stream of consciousness. Definitely an afterthought lol. And you're definitely right about that being able to read garbled text as long as the structure is kinda there. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘲𝘤𝘶𝘪𝘬 𝘣𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘯 𝘧𝘰𝘹 𝘫𝘶𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘥 𝘰𝘦𝘷𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘻𝘢𝘺 𝘥𝘰𝘨.

And heck yeah, thanks for listening. Always good to hear from you :-)

[Cambrian | 2021]

Albeit larger than a kilobite this sure is a fascinating audial trip and trilobite!

Atmospheric, tribal, ancient, mysterious... it has an air of adventure and discovery. But soft, and ambient-like, without perceivable threat. An evolution in comfort. A journey without edge. A calm and enveloping, canvas of ancient times...

Don't really like the turn it takes at 2:12 - feels a little anticlimactic and disappointing somehow - but it all takes you back to that world of wonder soon again.

This was amazing man. Surprisingly immersive and... dynamic. The sound never dulls, nor that sensation of wonder, worldly goodwill, the fascinating in discovering something new, or old, something untold of...

I think the description contributed a bit to that impression too. :) Well-worded.

But even with no description this'd definitely still be captivating. I wonder if I'd correlate it to the same things...

-cd-

Bertn1991 responds:

What a vivid overview of the track. I like that. Happy you enjoyed it overall despite the slightly underwhelming midpoint. And thanks for reading the descriptions of course. All the hugs~

[This is Blasphemy! This is Madness! (Madness-Verse)]

This is a little... chaotic! XD Feels like conflicting layers and melodies sometimes, the sound quality's crisp - production great, the melody's smooth, the beat's good, the energy's definitely there too... but there's just too much going on in parallel IMO. Feels atmospheric and smooth and all good things but... a little messy too.

-cd-

Pyragmus responds:

i completely agree

[June22 [Full EP]]

Decay... seems ominous but maybe not stagnant. It feels vibrant still. An encapsulated hope somewhere in the void, sounds tubular and large, very atmospheric... I love the build.

With Rebirth you definitely have more momentum and energy. Reminds me of the soundtracks you might hear play in documentaries of the universe; in those scenes were one cell organisms turn to two cell ones, and plants start growing, and the greenery expands and everything gets bright and beautiful and utopian... really cool build here too, and then towards the end, it slows down, like it's reached a peak; like it nears the point of decay once again...

Hopefully there's plenty of middle ground between those points though.

Composition's great; production's great... it's a real audial journey from start to finish.

Nicely done.

-cd-

Jabun responds:

Ah cheers CD! Really happy you enjoyed it, and for Rebirth especially that's the exact imagery I was going for when making it so super happy that came across well! As for Decay (in case you're wondering), I imagine walkng through a desolate potentially radioactive landscape alone and atmospheric. Many thanks for the praise and well wishing :)

[R.O.F. - I don’t gangbang]

I do miss those 2010-2011 battles, even had official compilation albums for a couple of years, have both of those on a shelf here... don't recall names but good to see you're still going strong!

You're definitely going hard on this. Delivery's on point, rhyme scheme's on point, the beat's good, and minimal so you really do focus on the vocals; there's not much room to mess up there...

Production quality could maybe use a little extra polish occasionally, like for example the 2:35 part, feels like the autotune/filter makes the vocals a little flat here, could probably increase the range/richness a bit. Clarity's great everywhere but maybe a little de-essing elsewhere too.

Overall though what a banger. The annunciation's clear; the flow never falters. Feels like the strong point above all here: y'all really can rap!

Keep up the goodness.
