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. The best way to determine how much you may like certain music is to listen to it yourself.

Popular Reviews
The Ransack are only the second band I've heard from Portugal, first being Moonspell. "Bloodline" marks the third album from this fine melodic death band. The record is well presented with great production that has a modern sensibility. Fans of early In Flames, Sacrilege and Killswitch Engage will love The Ransack's combination of twin guitar melody over aggressive vocals and fast punchy rhythm. This calculated formula makes "Bloodline" and The Ransack a candidate for the next big thing.
