Note: Reviews are graded from 0-5, anything higher or not showing is from our old style.
Scores, however, do not reveal the important features. The written review that accompanies the ratings
is the best source of information regarding the music on our site. Reviewing is opinionated, not a
qualitative science, so scores are personal to the reviewer and could reflect anything from being
technically brilliant to gloriously cheesy fun.
Demos and independent releases get some slack since the bands are often spent
broke supporting themselves and trying to improve. Major releases usually have big
financial backing, so they may be judged by a heavier hand. All scores can be eventually
adjusted up or down by comparison of subsequent releases by the same band. We attempt to
keep biases out of reviews and be advocates of the consumer without the undo influence of any band,
label, management, promoter, etc.
The best way to determine how much you may like certain music is to listen to it yourself.

Popular Reviews
Of your head, name a band from Australia that plays bluesy hard rock. Did you say "Koritni"? I could list a dozen schoolboy copy-clones from around the world that added nothing more to the style than what was tracked on vinyl by AC\DC from 1974 to 1984. Koritni wears that sound on their sleeve (even utilizing their mixer, Mike Fraser), but adds enough Aerosmith shuffle and Buckcherry energy (By My Side and the exceptional Tornado Dreaming) to be worth exploring. Given another solid release, Koritni could be spoken in the same breath as their influences, maybe even a first name suggestion over fellow country bands Airbourne and Wolfmother.
