  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.

10/5/2017 - Review by: Eric Compton
Live full set from O2 Arena in England plus ten rare tracks
With today's technology and production values I don't hold a lot of stock in live albums. They work as 'greatest hits' packages or 'compilations'. The same can be said for the expansive Alter Bridge set. The first two discs consist of the band's live set from November 26th, 2016 in England (O2). The third disc is worth it's weight. Two unreleased songs – 'Cruel Sun' and 'Solace'. The remaining eight songs are Japan bonus cuts from prior albums and Best Buy exclusives. The colored gatefold vinyl is a collector's dream.
Recommended for fans of: Queensryche, Slash, Lillian Axe
