Maximum Metal Rating Legend
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.

Feast is as good an album as Annihilator have put out recently. Here, we discuss the 3-disc Limited Edition. The Re-Kill disc features re-recordings of songs originally recorded before the arrival of frontman Dave Padden. The recording is rich and crisp, and Padden does a nice job re-interpreting the songs. Most pre-2004 albums are represented, and the tracklist reminds you of just how impressive a catalog the band has. The DVD, recorded at Wacken Open Air 2013, sounds a tad muddy at first, but quickly improves. Set list is so-so, but executed nicely, with Jeff Waters showing a bluesy side in some solos (think Angus Young gone speed metal).
