Maximum Metal Rating Legend
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.

Definitely metal for folks that like a lot going on
Upon listening to "Construct" several times, I just couldn't get in to it. The album is comprised of 10 tracks and clocks in at almost 70 minutes but those songs, while having a pretty interesting mix of styles, tend to feel a bit longer than the length of each track. The music is a great blend of Post Black/Post Rock and Post Metal and the band can seamlessly transition between each style. This is definitely metal for folks that like a lot going on with their music. I'm not necessarily opposed to that kind of metal but this particular release just didn't do much for me at all.
