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
Vocalist Tony Harnell has always kept busy with various projects. Along with TNT the talented frontman has spent time with Starbreaker and Westworld and now post-TNT has released a semi-solo effort. This album is a retrospective of songs Harnell has written and recorded with the above mentioned acts. He decided to change the songs themselves with different notes, keys and arrangements. The end result is an unplugged environment that is rather intimate and may be strictly for fans of the man's voice. Those looking for hard rock, AOR or heavy metal will need to look elsewhere.
