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.

  • A rock-solid metal cd with uncomplicated riffs that worked metal magic



    • Coming at you with a visceral assault and an endowment to metal heads and Judas Priest fans world-wide is the re-release of Rob Halford's Fight-"War of Words" with five new tracks recorded last year.

    For the uninitiated, Halford first formed the band "Fight" with Judas Priest drummer Scott Travis, bassist Jay Jay and guitarists Brian Tilse and Russ Parish in 1993. After two years, two studio albums and two varying sounds after Parish departed, Halford moved on to other projects and incarnations.

    Originally released in 1993, "War of Words" remains a rock-solid metal cd with uncomplicated riffs that worked metal magic sans any artifice that was the downfall of other bands during that time. As a testament, the work is slick and salubrious even today. In short it hits the major pressure points, swipes at the jugular and is not for anyone who can't take a hit to the glass jaw.

    Additions to the menu include tracks "Now You Die", "Forbidden", "Down", "Beast Denies" and "Dead Men Talk" making for a made for speed collection, and Halford's 4 1/2 octave range is given full court advantage to thrash. Stand out tracks include "Forbidden", "Beast Denies" and the still to this day powerful "Life and Black".

    It's Halford. It's Loud. It's the "fight" with a ringside seat you've been waiting for.
