5 Excellent - Masterpiece. A classic.

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 band come full circle with this new album
The whole L.A. Guns history is messy. However, the band come full circle with this new album, 'The Missing Peace', on their newest label, Frontier Records. It reunites the classic duo of Phil Lewis and Tracii Guns while retaining Michael Grant (joined 2013). The band are firing on all cylinders, evident with leadoff single "Speed", one of the year's best with a penchant for hook and a little NWOBHM feel. The album's overall feel closely aligns with 'Waking the Dead' and 'Tales from the Strip' while showcasing a few surprises. Let's hope this lineup lasts.
Recommended for fans of: Dokken, Ratt, Hanoi Rocks
