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

Progressive-Power that just putters along
You want middle of the road? Look no further than Ashes of Ares. Just like the disappointing debut, 'Well of Souls' still misses the mark. It's average metal from Barlow and Vidales, two talented guys who can be better than this. Slightly progressive, it's structured as a start-stop sort of rhythm that does nothing to showcase Barlow's vocal prowess. The big, harmonized vocal pieces leave a lot to be desired. "Sun Dragon" is an accomplished cut...beyond that this is metal 101, nothing more and nothing less.
