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.

10/14/2016 - Review by: Greg Watson
Hryre make an admirable effort fill the void of Agalloch's absence
England's Hryre are one of several bands that are attempting to fill the enormous gap left by the disbanding earlier in 2016. Pulling from England's history, political issues and atmosphere, Hryre deliver some atmospheric and classic sounding black metal that tends to lose itself in inordinately long musical passages and repetitive, trite vocals and spoken word passages. The band clearly know how to wield their instruments well and are able to craft some really inspiring musical passages but the songwriting really submarines this album with its lack of direction and cohesion.
