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.

The impressive third release TERRORIZER from Diamond Lane is a satisfying romp through 8 cuts. Brandon Baumann puts forth a vigorous display of vocals bringing to mind Jason McMaster and Whitfield Crane. The rest of this hard rock metal troop contributes contagious rhythms and nasty solos that produce remarkably tight flowing songs. Tracks like THE ENEMY and FAVORITE KIND OF VICTIM grab you from the onset pushing you to listen to the next one. SLOW DESTRUCTION and HOPELESS ROMANTIC exemplify their heavy side while maintaining the hard rock hooks. Diamond Lane are extremely talented and have an abundance of well-crafted songs.
