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
Most bands tend to slow down from album to album through their creative history. Given the number of rowdy songs on their last CD, I expected Sister Sin to be a lot calmer and heading towards more melodic, pop territories on True Sound of the Underground. Surprisingly, they went the opposite--all the songs burst with the balls-out, Sunset Strip energy that the Swedes have embraced. Vocal-mad Liv is frenetic enough to roughhouse with any guy out there. No points for originality, but if their studio goal was to rock out harder than before, then they've succeeded. Sister Sin will leave you feeling alive and wired. Bring on the gang vocals!
