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.

J.D Overdrive is short for the much cooler Jack Daniels Overdrive, a Polish stoner band that has been kicking the curbs since 2007. Fortune Favors The Brave is the band's second album and finds the group drenched in whiskey-Hell-fueled doom riffs ala Down. Vocally this is like early Chrome Division with plenty of drunk misery. Occasionally this swings into Volbeat territory but doesn't go out of its way to be too impressive. Goddamn and Texas Hippy Coalition are doing this better but it's still early."
