Review Rubric (Only demos, EPs, & full-length/live albums)
[100] My 25 favorite metal albums (Still W.I.P.)
[95-99] Legendary albums
[90-94] Stellar releases, legacy-building material.
[80-89] Great albums, any band would be proud to release.
[60-79] Ranging from above average to good albums.
[40-59] Slightly below average to slightly above, just okay.
[25-39] Bad album territory, only a few good songs.
[10-24] Very bad release, maybe one good riff in the whole thing.
[0-9] There was no point in releasing this other than for it to suck.
