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.

9/12/2016 - Review by: Eric Compton
Power chords, high vocals, and a fast pace tends to be repetitive after track 8
Deja Vu are a German power metal band that have released three albums in their ten year recording career. I love this band and have enjoyed their entire body of work. This new one has a ton of energy and it's captivating through about half the album. It's been eight years between records and the band released a ton of songs here--fourteen cuts total. I think if this was divided up and released as two records over the course of two years then it would have engaged me a little more. The power metal frenzy starts to become repetitive by track eight. Nevertheless this has tons of power and some great songs.
