5 Excellent - Masterpiece. A classic.
4.5-4 Great - Almost perfect records but there's probably a lacking.

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.
1.5-1 Bad - Major problems with music, lyrics, production, etc.
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.

Solid, enjoyable and familiar
Before All That Remains released their new record, 'Victim of the New Disease', guitarist Oli Herbert passed away. Herbert was a founding member of the group dating back to their 1998 conception. The record comes on the heels of his passing and just 18 months removed from the act's last record, 'Madness'. The band has been up and down with aggressive metal, combing stretches of pop and commercial accessibility to widen their audiences. Lately the group have revisited their NWOAHM sound and newest single 'F##K Love' echoes that. While not the most innovative and original record, it should please fans of the band. Go to for me is 'Blood I Spill', an instant mosh-riffic song that uses the growling verse and clean chorus formula. Done to death but enjoyable nonetheless.
