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.

This was intended to be Rock 'N Rolf's full time job post Running Wild breakup. Since the reunion of the German pirates I am not sure of the longevity of Giant X. This is a decent album of arena hard rock, Rolf singing in much the same fashion as Running Wild, his near monotone that fans have come to accept for decades. Tons of addictive hooks and gang chorus bits make it a guilty pleasure akin to heavier Danger Danger.
