7Kensuke 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 it has a ''killer'' soundtrack.
8----
9* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLXq9D0RuGw 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.
10* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1j8ugNrsd5s "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.
11* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0ajIeNqHVI "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.
12* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hAJBDZe21w "Crybaby"]], which plays in the last few minutes of Episodes 9 and 10. It begins as a LonelyPianoPiece, before gradually adding in string instruments, swelling towards its [[TearJerker gut-wrenching conclusion]]. 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''.
13* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8J6MwUpSU3M "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.
14* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCE3e1-jNHw "Buddy, Ryo"]], an electrifying theme that perfectly embodies the dark but stylish feel of the series, and is a good example on why ''Crybaby'' tends to be likened to ''VideoGame/HotlineMiami''.
15* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1_jZkUn22A "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.
16* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SdfTKgLsjI "School Life"]], which plays in the earlier episodes, feels like a wonderful combination that would definitely be made from the soundtracks of ''Manga/ASilentVoice'' and ''VideoGame/Persona3''.
17* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJFENfgHk14 "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=XH3gmOYcUsU "Smells Blood"]], its more... "upbeat" counterpart, which just oozes with ominous foreboding, but it's blood-pumping enough to keep you excited still.
18* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLP5HAPsHpc "His Heart"]], a solemn and wistful piece that plays when Akira [[spoiler: is forced to kill his mother to free her from a FateWorseThanDeath]].
19* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkoiRGoxE20 "Night Hawk"]], Silene's {{Leitmotif}}, is rife with bass lines and ominous chanting to the point that it gives you tension.
20* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCJfDZEsCec "Miki the Witch"]] starts on a light note but gradually becomes more intense and intentionally dissonant at the same time.
21* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXsLeLON5sA "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.
