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.

You know what you are getting with Danko Jones. The man lays down consistent albums filled with guts and glory rock and roll. This new album is a throwback to the "We Sweat Blood" and "Sleep Is The Enemy" records, swaying from the failures of "Never Too Loud" and it's middle of the road Foo Fighters sound. This album has great songs, fantastic and memorable riffs and Jones' characteristic stories of life and love. Favorite cuts are the summer time anthem "Tonight Is Fine", "Full Of Regret" and the hilarious "Magic Snake". Danko Jones is full throttle attitude on the same stage as KISS and Nugent in my opinion.
