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.

Popular Reviews
Vega is the Guinness World Record holder for fastest speed ever recorded on the guitar. This album shows that there is much more to his playing than just raw speed however, with a hybrid of Latin, Jazz, and Metal styles. Track six Distant Dreams is basically a straight-up Jazz number, while Lost and Acalanto rely on heavy riffs. And throughout all this, there are constant undercurrents of Latin rhythm, even on his rendition of Caprice 24, that gives him a very unique sound.
Track 7 is the show-stopping The Flight of the Bumblebee which should make everyone that hears this album realize: you can't argue with a statement of perfection.
