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.

Formed in 2007, Fracture have spent the last 3 years putting together an album that if it were a movie would be "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly". The good? Tony Markou has a delicious, crunchy guitar tone most guitarists would kill for. And David Bellion has tremendous melodic chops and amazing range. The bad? Songs lack structure and promise. The ugly? You'd need to hear it 5 or 6 times before it sinks in since it lacks an addictive factor. Bands like Pagans Mind and Queensryche have shown that Prog Metal can make sense, be catchy and still be clever. Something "Simple Chaos" fails to do.
