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.

I can't put Freakhouse in just one category. They have a mix of sounds that is starting to be the norm with music today, which isn’t a bad thing by any means. Just consider it a hidden treasure created just for you.

Beautiful Misery is a mix of pure rock with each song telling a story in a different way. “Man or Machine” has industrial influences. “Love Hates Me” is more of a modern rock tune, for the younger crowd. Some songs on the album like “Cleansing” are pure rock genius with great hooks that keep you coming back for more like AC/DC. “Disconnected” and “Valium” which is about making everything better by covering it up with a medication, have the best metal hooks on the album and are worth checking out.

“Shut it out and make it go away.” is one of the key lines in the song that really keep you on your feet. So does “your meaning lacks existence.” Great hooks that really make you take a look at life.

You will either hate or love this band, and if you love the band, you probably won't like all the cuts off the album, but will get into some of them. They are a great rock band that probably has ties to the 80’s metal bands but won't admit it. They have a very distinct sound, that will take them far, given the chance.

To check them out, go to www.freakhouse.com. On their site you will find MP3’s to some of the songs and bio’s and a lot of other great stuff that you will most certainly enjoy. Freakhouse is part of Reality Entertainment. Check ‘em out.
