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.

Fun filled musical ride that is a bit different than what you'd expect
John 5 & The Creatures offer up a really fun and sometimes creepy ride on "Season of the Witch". A bit of jazz, country, bluegrass and metal form the witches brew of music you'll encounter while giving this album a spin. The band as a whole really know how to handle their instruments with expertise and offer up high quality musical performances. John 5 shines throughout with his smooth and aggressive guitar work. This album is mainly instrumental and is one that you don't need vocals to appreciate it. The sheer quality of the music makes this a damn enjoyable listen and something that you can throw on anytime, regardless of your mood.
Recommended for fans of: Steve Morse, Joe Satriani
