  Maximum Metal Rating Legend
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.

  • Find something else out there



    • This band's debut is an interesting situation. I want to like this album and at times I do, but then another song comes over the speakers and I think to myself, why did I buy this album? That, for me at least, is a battle I find myself fighting when I buy a CD from a new band frequently.

    The songs on this album are somewhat generic in their structure and each one has very little to distinguish one from the other. There are some varying elements that come in to play, such as a slow down in tempo and a scream instead of a belch vocal. This falls under the Noise genre and while I've never been into it a whole lot, I try to give everything a shot.

    That being said, nothing overly impressed me with this album and I haven't listened to it since the day that I bought it. So unless you're big into the Noise Metal, find something else out there that might work for you.
