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. The best way to determine how much you may like certain music is to listen to it yourself.

Conglomerate of extreme styles ranging from metalcore, deathcore and thrash
New Jersey act Cranely Gardens released their first debut, the 'Locust Valley' EP, in 2015. Now they release the follow-up, a seven-track EP called 'House of Decay'. It's one of the coolest album covers we've seen this year and has plenty of firepower to backup the bold artwork. It is a conglomerate of extreme styles ranging from metalcore, deathcore and thrash. While sometimes a little contrived, overall the EP has plenty of energy, riffage, double-bass and break-downs to please the new generation of US metal fans. I'd be interested in a bit more melody injected into the arsenal.
