Maximum Metal Rating Legend
5 Excellent - Masterpiece. A classic.
4.5-4 Great - Almost perfect records but there's probably a lacking.

3 Average - Some good songs, some bad ones at about a half/half ratio.
2.5-2 Fair - Worth a listen, but best obtained by collectors.
1.5-1 Bad - Major problems with music, lyrics, production, etc.
0 Terrible - Waste of your life and time.

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.

Los Angeles act playing tight-knit metalcore
Even with all of the albums and press releases we are exposed to, things just fall through the cracks. My buddy suggested Los Angeles metalcore act Thrown into Exile recently and it kicked my ass. Why is this band going unnoticed!?! 'Safe Inside' is the group's debut and is a relentless, guitar heavy record that should appeal to fans of early Bullet for my Valentine albeit a little more technical. The production is somewhat mechanical is 'too good'. I'd like a little less machine and more lively sounds. 'Start Making Sense' make me want to throw train cars. Energy and riffs for miles!
Recommended for fans of: early Bullet for my Valentine, mid-era Killswitch Engage
