5 Excellent - Masterpiece. A classic.

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.

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.

10/19/2019 - Review by: Eric Compton
Polished and smooth progressive power metal
Silver Talon are a new independent band out of Portland, Oregon. The band's bulk is acquired from former band Spellcaster and prefaced by two demos last year. This debut is eight tracks of polished power metal with a slight progressive feel. Fans of Brainstorm and Firewind should find plenty to like--a crunchy heaviness entwined with neo-classical styles. Vocally, it's a little more subdued than I like but the extra heaviness makes up for it. Fun stuff just not overly impressive.
Recommended for fans of: Brainstorm, Firewind, Mercenary
