5 Excellent - Masterpiece. A classic.
4.5-4 Great - Almost perfect records but there's probably a lacking.

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.

Totally bitchin, man!
Add Honeymoon Disease to the list of bands delivering sounds from Generation X to Generation Z. Jeans, t-shirts, center hair parts, and mustaches abide with this smashing quartet (2 chicks, 2 dudes) of retro-rockers from Gothenburg, Sweden.

The Transcendence is all about the song with a jam-session vibe and catchy, infectious choruses. Vocals from Jenna Disease are modestly traditional and right on. The guitars never take over as the centerpiece of any song, but their progressions utilize a less is more spirit squeezing simple riffs to the max.

It's a classically-short 38 minutes, but from the shivering groove of "Imperial Mind", the girl-punk of "You're Too late", the pure movement of "Fast Love", and the sizzling "Stargazer", these are some of the coolest tunes since the 70s got us moving to some boogie rock 'n roll. A couple extended songs would have put 'The Transcendence' over the top but only a brief minute instrumental after "Keep Me Spinning" gives us a taste of what they can do with some piano accompaniment and a slower pace.

Named for a condition caused by sexual activity, Honeymoon Disease is totally bitchin, man! Dig 'em!
