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.

8/19/2018 - Review by: Eric Compton
Thick and fuzzy stoner metal from Finland
This Finnish fuzz is Kaiser and '1st Sound' is their fitting debut. It's your typical stoner album with plenty of thick and highly distorted riffs and bass. Vocally, sort of a Count Raven meets John Garcia type of flavor. Some may say desert rock or doom...the bottom line is that it's the same sort of buzzing sound that Sabbath put in place over 50 years ago. The songs average around four-minutes and never become too self-indulgent to tire the listener. I'd be curious to hear a second effort.
Recommended for fans of: Clutch, Stoner Kings, Black Sabbath
