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.

Up till the last 2 years Sweden was been best known as the home of IKEA and of course ABBA. UGH! Thank God for ballsy Hard Rock bands like Crazy Lixx and now Coldspell to give it a good kick in the ass! While nowhere near as heavy on the swedish sleaze as Lixx, their sophomore album still delivers the goods with sharp production, driven by killer riffs dripping with a Lynch-esque factor. It's clear on standouts like the powerful 'Heroes', 'One In A Million', 'Heading For Tomorrow' and 'Fate'. Songs with great hooks and strong vocal prowess.
