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.

5/31/2016 - Review by: David Loveless
Some of the heaviest punk-infused grindcore ever recorded
First the good--you can always count on Nails to deliver some of the heaviest punk-infused grindcore ever recorded. Each song is short, too the point, and deliver some of the sickest metal that will rattle your brain. You Will Never Be One Of Us continues the onslaught of their first two albums but with an even greater ferociousness. Now the bad--the average length of a Nails album is right around 18 minutes long, about the same length as 1 YOB song. This wouldn't be so bad, but since they are considered full-length albums, they come with full-length price. Overall, excellent grindcore album with sick and gritty production by Kurt Ballou.
