  Maximum Metal Rating Legend
5 Excellent - Masterpiece. A classic.
4.5-4 Great - Almost perfect records but there's probably a lacking.
3.5 Good - Most of the record is good, but there may be some filler.
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.

Track Listing

01. Dead Eyes See No Future
02. Burning Angel (Live in Paris 2004)
03. We Will Rise (Live in Paris 2004)
04. Heart of Darkness (Live in Paris 2004)

06. Kill With Power (Manowar cover)
07. Incarnated Solvent Abuse (Carcass cover)
08. We Will Rise (Enhanced video clip)
Ep's are hit and miss. Either you like them for the fact that they help pass the time in between full length albums or you hate them because they are NOT a full length album. "Dead Eyes See No Future" offers a mix of the studio cut with the same name off "Anthems Of Rebellion", three finely produced live cuts with the trade-mark Andy Sneap stamp on them and three cover tunes. (plus the addition of an enhanced video of the live "We Will Rise" tune). One beef I have with most live recordings even in this day and age is their poor sound but this stuff sounds heavy, tight and crystal clear. Covering Megadeth and Man O War seems like a good idea on the surface. I really find no fault in their renditions of both tunes but it's not something I would sit and spin for hours like a fresh, original A.E. tune. The highlight of this cd comes last as the Amott brothers pull one of their old Carcass tunes out of the archives and dust it off with a modern touch and sound. "Incarnated Solvent Abuse" really brought back memories and was easily the highlight of the disc for me.

Bottom Line: High quality ep that served to remind me how long it will be before we get another full album from the Arch Enemy camp.
