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.

6/25/2017 - Review by: Greg Watson
Avant garde black metal that is both complex but a bit ambitious
Massachusetts based In Human Form are quite an enigma in the metal world. Their sound is a mixture of prog, jazz and 90's era black metal that is melded together in a bizarre mix that works really well. The album's pattern of instrumental/full track/instrumental got really boring and the non-instrumental tracks all clock in over 10 minutes in length. I found myself losing interest about halfway through the album. There are lots of layers here and one listen isn't going to allow you to hear everything the band is doing but for me, one listen was all I could handle.
