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
Bush meets Belladonna on Anthrax's first album in 8 years. Meaning if you mashed the mid-tempo Metal they put out in the 90's, add Joey's vocals and throw in a few old school styled thrash songs you'd get "Worship Music". It also marks the return of Joey on vocals since 1990's "Persistence Of Time". His voice shines like on 'In The End' and 'The Devil You Know'. Despite a couple middle of the road tracks it's a crushing blend of riffs, bass and drums. Easily making my Top 5 Albums of 2011.
