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.

4/23/2018 - Review by: Eric Compton
Aged new wave from this early UK act
Dave Crawte and Mark Sutcliffe are the only two original members of the NWOBHM Trespass. The band formed in 1978 and released a couple of singles, an acclaimed EP and a demo in the early 80s. Oddly, the band never released a full-length studio record until 1993's 'Head'. Since then they released a self-title in 2015 and now 'Footprints in the Rock' via Mighty Music. The album's title track showcases an Iron Maiden sort of feel, but Sutcliffe is no Dickinson. I think that is where the album suffers. Vocally, it's average. Musically, a step up with quality riffs, a lively pace and solid production. Good and bad...like everything else.
Recommended for fans of: Chateaux, Touched, Blitzkrieg
