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.

11/5/2003 - Review by: Greg Watson
A gothic masterpiece
Alright!

I have been looking for this band for the past few years. These guys hail from Chile and obviously are big fans of old Moonspell. This album is reminscent of "Wolfheart" and "Irreligious" era Moonspell and it's a gothic masterpiece sure to satisfy fans of Type O and the already mentioned.

These thirteen tracks are just outstanding and I can't say enough good things about this band. I wish I had more information to pass on about this band but that's about all I have. Definitely try and get a hold of this one if you can.
