* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diuexInkshA remix of "Devilman No Uta"]], the Japanese opening of the original anime series, does a splendid job capturing the tone of this DarkerAndEdgier adaptation while remaining campy in its own right and is insanely catchy to boot.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKdpluKsFZM "MAN HUMAN"]], the opening to the show. It's foreboding, catchy, and sounds like something from a nightclub; giving you a very good idea of what you're about to watch.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOK-1IG-j68 "D.V.M.N."]], a powerful orchestral theme which plays during a lot of important scenes in the anime (e.g. Akira's transformation to Devilman and [[spoiler: his battle with Ryo/Satan in the climax]]). It also plays during the credits in some of the episodes.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiLJoBTZKX0 "Judgment"]], which plays in some of the trailers, credits, and when [[spoiler: Sirene merges with Kaim]]. Before the series even aired, this track (besides "D.V.M.N.") already made it clear that this adaptation of ''Devilman'' is far grittier than the others.

* [[https://youtu.be/xs-PzathtLA "From Here to Eternity"]], which plays [[spoiler: during the baton pass scene and shortly before Miki and Akira's deaths]], induces the feeling of both the joy and pain of nostalgia.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPTC9t7yQI4 "Behind the Scene"]], much like its name, definitely gives the impression of an investigation, all the while making the listener feel a unique kind of tension, especially with the chanting in the background. By extension, there's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_bobVii13w "Smells Blood"]], its more... "upbeat" counterpart, which just oozes with ominous foreboding, but it's blood-pumping enough to keep you excited still.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpJjYs5-2JA "His Heart"]], a solemn and wistful piece that plays when Akira [[spoiler: is forced to kill his mother to free her from a FateWorseThanDeath]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiAp85OVaJ4 "Night Hawk"]], Silene's {{Leitmotif}}, is rife with bass lines and ominous chanting to the point that it gives you tension.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voIOPKuIlmE "Miki the Witch"]] starts on a light note but gradually becomes more intense and intentionally dissonant at the same time.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfe_Ii2KCJE "Cheesy Drop"]] sounds like something you would hear in bars, and is a beat you can't help tapping your feet or bopping your head to.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hAJBDZe21w "Crybaby"]], which plays in the last few minutes of Episodes 9 and 10. True to its title, you yourself might be in tears once you listen to this. After all, Ushio also worked on the soundtrack of ''Manga/ASilentVoice''.

Kensuke Ushio's score has been well-received, and while the fans are split whether ''DEVILMAN crybaby'' is a good adaptation or not, they unanimously agree that the soundtrack is excellent.

Many even see the soundtrack as an equivalent to [[Music/NineInchNails Trent Reznor]]'s and Atticus Ross's score to ''[[Literature/TheMillenniumTrilogy The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo]]'', or the entire soundtrack of ''VideoGame/HotlineMiami''.

Kensuke Ushio's score has been well-received, and while the fans are split whether ''DEVILMAN crybaby'' is a good adaptation or not, at the very least they unanimously agree that the soundtrack is good, mostly equivalent to [[Music/NineInchNails Trent Reznor]]'s and Atticus Ross's score to ''[[Literature/TheMillenniumTrilogy The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo]]'', or the entire soundtrack of ''VideoGame/HotlineMiami''.
