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.

1/5/2018 - Review by: Eric Compton
Hard rock with a nod to goth, punk and horror
The Fright are a difficult band to describe. Think dark hard rock with a nod to goth, or if Crazy Lixx, The 69 Eyes, Lordi and Bauhaus all had a monster baby. Oddly, The Fright kick total ass and have four albums prior to this new release--why isn't anyone talking about them? 'Canto V' blends all of the above influences into a funeral home torn apart with shouting, drinking, and seances. The ghouls place esteemed producer Waldemar Sorychta behind the knobs giving it a crisp, surgical polish.
Recommended for fans of: Crazy Lixx, The 69 Eyes, Bauhaus
