Doomroar's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[It Still Calls to Me]

Even the soundtrack is awesome!

buriedantenna responds:

If Doomroar approves, then I've done a good job, thanks man ;)

[Darkness does not scare]

Hell yeah what a comeback, straight to the NG play list.

MadMath responds:

Thanks for the warm welcome :)

[Cactusman]

Far from crappy song, it is actually quite good!
Bat what if you live on a desert zone near the Equator? then cactus become quite common haha.

SourJovis responds:

Thank you :)
I pictured a cactus inside when there's snow outside, so the cactus doesn't want to be outside. However you'requite right. There are a lot of places where cacti do very well outside. Also at warm places cold climate plants only do well inside. So the metaphor doesn't quite hold up. But perhaps seemingly antisocial people can also be verysocial when they're among the right people. So like the plants people thrive under different conditions. There's another metaphor that hopefully works.

[B7 - Destiny's End]

Goddammit vocalist, why? just no man, haha, great song by the way.

Burn7 responds:

I have to record vocals when my roommate isn't home. He doesn't want to hear that shit as much as I want to subject him to it D:

I've been thinking of recording in my car on a laptop... Just, so lazy. Can't motivate. Urgh nooooo

[Nevermore]

Nice, nice, but only one question, is this one only Nevermore, or a combination of the 4 songs in that list? since it seems to have these gradual changes on it.

Unigodspawn responds:

Thanks! and no, this is not the whole work, this is just the song titled Nevermore :) it might have a lot of changes because that's my composing style, you can listen the whole EP on my Soundcloud account, watch it out in my post ;)

[Secret Medal]

Oh you that contradictory description!
This is the best out of the 3, indeed worth of being a secret medal, having heard the OST, now i am bumped to play the game, perfect ambiance, perfect loop, perfect motivator, now to get that medal!

5/5

Cyberdevil responds:

Haha, thanks. I liked this one the most too, it just turned out so... smooth, somehow! Thanks for all the comments!

[Nothing Special]

I like this one more, even if is called nothing special, getting lazy with dem titles aren't we? haha.

Again i say if something is different then is special in itself, i have a complain with this one though, the loop starts a little bit too soon, and so it doesn't goes as smoothly on its transition, a minor detail, but that is the point of a loop, or so i think.

Cyberdevil responds:

The titles are what they are for a reason. :P

True, though paradoxically it could be something different because it's nothing special! Ah, yeah, I thought I had it was cut just right but you're right, it jumps a little, I should probably get around to fixing that...

[Something Different]

Hold but things that are different are special! what the he... my theory is being denied! or proven?
Hmmm i have no idea, i am not really a dance fan, or knowledgeable in this genre, but as far as it goes is quite decent. i say that it is quite special.

And it also loops quite well!

Cyberdevil responds:

Glad you noticed the loop, most people don't pay much attention to that in their tracks so it's definitely something different. :)

[Hi Everybody! [Breakbeat]]

This was great i think is the first upbeat Drum N Bass song that i will add to my Ng playlist.

YakovlevArt responds:

I like the sound of that!
Thanks for the kind words =]

[Cyberdevil's Back]

I like the sound, the beat goes hard, and the lyrics are on point, best of all they don't diverge away from the theme just to fill space, and not only do they give some story about you, but also about NG, and how it used to be.

Now, to the part when my nature appears, sincerity.

I guess i am now sure, this can count as Nu metal, well there is a problem, and is that your voice is sometimes obscured by the rest of the sound, and at times it blends/merges with it, but not in the good sense of perfect harmony, but more of your voice ends in the background, so if it wasn't for the lyrics it would have been hard to know what you said at some parts.
I am not talking about "screamo" or anything like that, but your voice could have more volume, without the rest of the song going down, since it has already good levels.

Let me explain myself, in HelpThePoor's comment, he said that the rapping seems out of place, i disagree, a calm but constant rap can work perfectly with a fast paced beat, so my point is different, indeed it can be easily fixed by raising the sound levels of your voice.

But i do understand where HelpThePoor is coming from, if the song was longer it could have a solo added to it, and even a second verse when you totally change the mood to show a bold statement, since you reminisced in the first part (the past of NG that is now gone) and in the next part you show us the future, at the end you tell us "gotta fight enough! It's a dead fuse now but let us light it up! And let us let loose," i think the second verse could explore more that part. Of course this doesn't really count as a negative because, this is not really a problem! but more a thing of taste, is exactly that, indeed, this is quite a good song, so is a pity that is only a minute and a half long, but sure, is called "Cyberdevil's back", so it can pass as an intro, thus since is an intro it can't be that long.

What else can i say? nothing much really, other than the sound levels of your voice this song is damn good, and i guess that is what allowed me to make this review, since is so good feedback can be easily made for it, indeed i think this is my longest review for a song ever.

4.5/5 and 5/5 if the voice clarifies, now that i think of it, in the second round of this year's claptrap something similar happened, it was a problem with the mike of one of the competitors, and his voice ended like whispers, can't remember if he won, since i forgot who was the unfortunate MC, but i remember that even with that it was hard to choose a winner.

So, ready to go and take on the Claptrap 2014?

Cyberdevil responds:

Holy hell man, when you mentioned you'd be a bit more elaborate in your review I wasn't expecting such analytical grandeur! :) Thank you for this (thankfully sincere) fantastic mound of amounted feedback. To answer some of your questions...

I know what you mean. I also thought the voice was a bit low, but after a while it seemed normal. Knowing the lyrics it's also not easy to know how it would be like to hear from a different ear. This unclarity is partly due to the recording quality (a lack of higher frequencies, I've been told, which is the fault of my very basic recording device) but also due to the choice to keep the voice level the same as that of professional records. Hmm, mostly Jabun's choice, but I respect the professional approach. :)

As I understood HelpThePoor's comment, he meant that the introductory part doesn't fully sync with the beat, and that's true, but I kinda like the way it catches up and then starts with a... blast!

If this was longer I wonder if it'd have the same impact. But yeah, it would be fun to delve more in detail into my thoughts about the NG Community, I have a few other lyrics on the topic though, hopefully some of them will see the light of day!

Oh, you're longest review yet! It's an honor. :)

Good score. I've thought about Clabtrap earlier but I'm not sure I'd like to battle people, that part of hiphop culture is still a bit foreign to me. Never say never though! Thanks again for great comments. :)
