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

Popular Reviews
Scent of Remains delivers a rather average offering of metalcore. The album possesses Suicide Silence type high pitched vocals, Dr. Claw sounding growls and decent clean vocals. Musically the album overall is decent but there is a good bit of repetition and hardly any deviation from the formula. The gem of the album is a song called "Wakefield", a heart felt, well written ballad. However, that is about all the album has to offer. If you want to check out metalcore that isn't breaking any barriers, give this a spin. Otherwise, there's better metalcore out there.
