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
Does this band need an introduction? I'm thinking no, but it doesn't come off as a bad thing, as Cripple Bastards perform top notch Grind/Hardcore. The production on the recording is magnificent, giving enough crust, but defined guitars and a deep drum tone to shape the album. The only downside is track fifteen sounds no different than song three, and so on and so forth. If you're looking for diversity, you'll need to look elsewhere. But if you're in for something that'll keep you moving while performing a monotonous task, give this a spin.
