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.

  • "Packing heat through every track!"



  • Welcome to the place you may just want to call home after a few turns in your cd changer--it's Warner Drive, the Los Angeles band that is creating an industry buzz that is deafening in its acclaim with their first full length cd, "Fully Loaded" and live performances that put you in the cross hairs and send you reeling with the force of their unique sound. With almost perfect vocals, a rock steady in the pocket bass player, a tight stick man and shredder on guitar, Jonathan Jonah (Jonny Law), Chris Koushayan, Peter Crowner, Matthew Shapiro of Warner Drive have released an air tight cd. Produced by industry heavy hitters, Mike Clink and James Michael with pedigrees that inlcude production of the likes of Guns N Roses, Motely Crue, Metallica, Megadeath, the Deftones, Saliva, Alanis Morissette, and Motley Crue's Red White and Crue, Fully Loaded is packing heat through every track. Law's vocals are fresh and raw giving breath to stand out tracks like "Calling You", "Stand Up" and the campy "Shocker" which dynamically is one of the most well constructed songs on the cd. So sit back and prepare to be locked, cocked and ready to rock!
