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
Humangled's Odd Ethics is a very run of the mill death metal release. Featuring typically heavy riffs, oversaturated gore in the lyrics, blast beats out of control and unintelligible vocals. The vocals are one of the sore spots on the album as they are just poorly executed, almost sounding forced at times. The production is pretty shaky at times, being clear in one instant and muddy the next. Overall, this album is nothing out of the ordinary and better sampled before purchase.
