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

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.

Quite the unique band
Born Of Osiris are quite the unique band, mixing deathcore and metalcore with trance-like keyboards and adding the occasional black metal influenced riffs and blast beats. On their fifth full-length album (and first in four years), Born Of Osiris maintain their deathcore integrity while adding more melody in between the harsh grooves on 'The Simulation' - a short but effective 26 minute long album. Standout tracks include "Analogs In A Cell", "Disconnectome" and "One Without The Other". The guitar tone and drum tracks are monstrous in the mix without overpowering the keyboards and vocals. Although the bass can be heard throughout, it seems to be mixed a little lower than the other instruments. That being said, this is a pretty good addition to their discography. If it weren’t for them releasing a second album this year, I would be really disappointed that it took them four years to release such a short album since 2015's 'Soul Sphere'.
