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.
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.

Folk metal that is part serious and part goofy
Equilibrium clearly are fans of Ensiferum and Finntroll. They offer up some decent folk metal on "Armageddon". The orchestration, when used, is really good and well thought out. The music is pretty much what you'd expect from this genre. The keyboards though are just really goofy and way over the top. They don't really seem to serve any purpose that I can see. Worth checking out for a listen but there's other folk metal out there with a little more substance.
Recommended for fans of: Ensiferum, Finntroll
