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.

Popular Reviews
Italian outfit Wrong Way to Die deliver a delicious mix of ambient, post hardcore tinged with just a bit of metalcore. Think of At the Drive In, Katatonia and early My Dying Bride producing a child. Ingrates is a departure from what you would expect from a typical metalcore band. Catchy bone crunching riffs are melded seamlessly with the ambient, proggy interludes that allow the listener a palate cleanse before shoveling the meaty riffs back in. The vocals are core derived which takes away from the subtler musical pieces. This is an album that stands apart from other metalcore releases and I would honestly classify this more as post hardcore.
