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
"Illud Dominum Insanus" marks the return of David Vincent to Morbid Angel and instead of it being a return to glory it is a fall from grace. The album has industrial elements that don't belong and there are lyrics in Spanish and Latin. Yes I said Spanish and Latin. The album is a departure from Morbid Angel's previous releases and lacks the heaviness and ferocity that metal fans have come to know these guys for. Unless you are a huge fan, don't waste your time on this album. Even if you are a fan of Angel, save your money for something more worthwhile.
