Maximum Metal Rating Legend
5 Excellent - Masterpiece. A classic.
4.5-4 Great - Almost perfect records but there's probably a lacking.

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.

Commercial tunes from the iconic rocker
New guitarist Philip Xenidis finally gets to officially show off his chops with Bon Jovi for this new record. The Greek-Canadian has big shoes to fill with replacing Richie, but so far so good. 'This House Is Not for Sale' is apparently about integrity and having nothing left to prove...for Bon Jovi. Most of the album fits Jon's commercially accessible rock but there are some style points both lyrically and musically. "We Don't Run" is an anthemic pop anthem while the title track is the most rock solid of the group.
Recommended for fans of: Mike Tramp and Night Ranger
