Maximum Metal Rating Legend
5 Excellent - Masterpiece. A classic.
4.5-4 Great - Almost perfect records but there's probably a lacking.
3.5 Good - Most of the record is good, but there may be some filler.
3 Average - Some good songs, some bad ones at about a half/half ratio.
2.5-2 Fair - Worth a listen, but best obtained by collectors.
1.5-1 Bad - Major problems with music, lyrics, production, etc.
0 Terrible - Waste of your life and time.

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.

On the Outside - S/T - Lost Glory Records - 2004

Track Listing
1. Chip On My Shoulder
2. Broken Neven Hopeless
3. Day In Day Out
4. Everything I Used To Be
5. No Place To Call Home
These guys have their shit together with the kind of speed and intensity of the best old-school thrashers. It wouldn't be a stretch to compare the bashing to early Anthrax with the guitars super tight and charging like freaks in a madhouse behind the pounding drums. The vocals are rough hardcore style though and I have no idea what was said other than a few "fucks" here and there. With 5 songs at a total of 7:59 left, I don't if this was a sampler or if not, but it's tight and there's no bullshit. It's just over before you know it and so is this review.
