How this site works

When we claim that we will review "overlooked" albums, we are referring to albums that perhaps do not get as much attention as others. For example, you can find a review of Back In Black by AC/DC anywhere on the net, but not all music review places will review Fly On The Wall. We will also gradually fit in popular albums.

As a nod to Sammy Hagar's debut solo album Nine On A Ten Scale, our scale will be a maximum of nine out of ten guitars, with special masterpieces earning the coveted tenth broken guitar!

Example:


Lowest possible score


Highest regular score


Special score

Please realize that it is impossible to rate each album exactly the same way every time. There are a number of factors involved, including artist expectations, consistency (with earlier work and/or the genre), and personal impact. However, all of our ratings should still be within +/- one guitar.

Who are we?

We are Mike and Derek, music-loving, obsessive collectors who want to share our views with the world. We are both young rock fans who feel cheated because we were born too late to enjoy the music we love as it was being created. But we have made tremendous efforts to "catch up," and we trust that you'll be pleased with our performance.

Our goal

We hope to make this a fun website and invite you to our message board for your opinions. Please email us with suggestions to help improve the site. Ultimately we hope you check out a few of the albums reviewed here that you would not have given a second thought about otherwise.
