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.

To be honest i really did like their last album Animatronic, so when i got this i was willing to break it out and see what Lex Icon had in store for us this time. From the first song Cybertrash, Its laden with synths. I can't really even tell what is going on. Its seems as if these Norwegian bands who once were black metal are all turning to electronica. Not that progressing is bad, but it seems like this album is getting a little bit more poppier. Just Imagine Front 242 or Ministry with metal like Rob Zombie and a really big woman singing in the background. The only song there to catch my ear is "Star by star". Not a bad song in any right, but one song can not keep an album going. I'm not going to be anticipating the next album from these guys

DISCLAIMER: If you liked the last album or Nexus Polaris, this one is straying towards pop. Of course wasn't Animatronic?
