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
Bone crushing full-length album from these extreme metallers
Holy frickin' crap this album was massively heavier than I expected it to be. There is groove galore on this release and it is catchy as hell. I couldn't keep my head from nodding along from start to finish on this one. There's also a good deal of melody and some very tasty solos to keep your mouth watering. The vocals are guttural, abrasive and just what you want to go along with the heavy. The only complaint I found was the overuse of subtle, mellow interludes between the heavier sections throughout the album. But this is definitely one that caught me by surprise in a very pleasant way.
