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
Some of my favorite music these days comes from a little known label called 'The Path Less Traveled Records'. Covering everything from Metal to the obscured, Densetsu Stream's new EP, Wicked City, fits somewhere in the middle. Simple beats smothered in shrilling electronics with occasional guitar fill-ins are accompanied by harsh Black Metal-ish vokills on this 20-minute epic nightmare of an adventure. This EP brings back memories of my early 90's favorites such as Scorn, O.L.D., and even Pitchshifter. So, if you're looking for something different, yet creative, give Densetsu Stream a listen.
