The staff at Metal Revolution Magazine aim at giving an objective critique of any product and the grades obviously reflect the personal views of any writer, respectively. The regular reader of Metal Revolution must have also noticed that most reviews begin with a certain rating, ranging somewhere between 00 and 100, but how to interpret such a mark? I mean, the weakest link in such a system is that different people have different ideas with such figures. That is of course pretty much confusing for you as a reader, so we decided to implement a new, more clear system. Please consider the following descriptions a short introduction as well as some explanation for our intentions.
ABOUT THE GRADES:
100%: A milestone - merely applied to albums that define history [e.g. Slayer's Reign in Blood or Metallica’s Master of Puppets] 90%: Candidates for album of the year 80%: Candidates for album of the month 60 – 80%: Good and decent piece of music, but still no top of the bill 50%: Average grade – standard, nothing special 30 – 50%: Bellow average, but still interesting 10 – 30%: Very boring and inspiring piece of music, but not really disastrous - 10%: The bottom of it all, a waste of time and resources
WE MOREOVER GRADE THE FOLLOWING PARAMETERS:
Artwork - how professional is the artwork, especially the front cover? Does it reflect a connection with the product or artist's theme/concept? It is rip-off and cliché or something new and innovative? Production - how well is the product produced or how well does the production reflect the theme/concept of the product? Originality - how original is this product? What is its contribution to the genre? Continuity - does the product reflect coherence? Does it have a leitmotif?
