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. The best way to determine how much you may like certain music is to listen to it yourself.

Popular Reviews
American Dog has been barking on a leash for a few years now. The indy band have a bark similar to AC/DC and early Aerosmith with that penchant for blues riffs. This new album, 'Poison Smile', is more of the same albeit a little more punk infused and rough around the edges. The band show off garage humor on 'Just Like Charlie Sheen' and 'The Real Nitty Gritty', rambunctious in lyrics and dirty blues soaked hooks. Not the most original thing in town but still enjoyable for an hour or two.
