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.

Use of the rinse and repeat method really makes the album lackluster
Deinonychus is back with their long titled album 'Ode to Act of Murder, Dystopia and Suicide'. This was an incredibly frustrating listen as there are elements and moments throughout the album that I thoroughly enjoyed and was quite impressed by. But the bigger issue for me is the fact that all the songs have gobs of similarities throughout, making it feel like the album is one long song, broken up into different parts rather than an album of varying tracks. The use of the rinse and repeat method really makes the album lackluster as after one or two tracks, you know what you're getting with this release and there isn't much deviation going forward.
