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.

You just pick up on so many things you missed
Again I cannot stress how well the remastered versions of these albums sound.

Each one comes with rare Queensryche tracks on each as well as extended liner notes and rare photos. This one is very good as well. The bonus tracks are not as extensive as on the "EP" but are still worth it. The live version of "Walk in the Shadows" from the "Operation: Mindcrime" tour is just kick ass. Any fan of the band should pick these up as I have already said in my EP review. It's like listening to the remaster of Megadeth's "Killing is my Business...and Business Is Good". You just pick up on so many things you missed with the lacking sound quality of those albums.

So, check 'em out.
