5 Excellent - Masterpiece. A classic.
4.5-4 Great - Almost perfect records but there's probably a lacking.

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.

Falls a bit short of having divine skills
The tragedies of skills divine is the translation of Totalitarian's latest album 'De Arte Tragoediae Divinae'. As interesting as the album title is, the album itself falls a bit short of having "divine skills" in my opinion. The black metal that is played on the album is good, don't get me wrong but where things tend to run a ground is in the length of the tracks. It felt like I was listening to one song that was broken up in to 5 different parts. The lack of vocals, there are some mind you but nowhere near enough, also made the album feel strange and off-kilter.
