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.

Comeback album for these crossover legends
It's been ten years since Billy Milano and his crossover act M.O.D. have released new material. The group disbanded most recently in 2012 only to reform again three years later. 'Busted, Broke & American' follows that same sort of angst as prior albums, notably the political satire portions that populate most of the band's material. 'You're a Fucking Dick' is the fast-paced punk-metal fusion that makes this band so much fun. The title track has a slower, hook-laden riff across Milano's pissed off lyrics. I've played 'Shattered Dreams & Broken Glass' for days --'If you ain't down with a hardcore punk you ain't down with shit'. Poetic beauty.
Recommended for fans of: S.O.D. and Anthrax
