Reviews and Corrections April-May

I try to post these on the last day of the month, but I forgot to put this up last night so instead I'll just do it this morning. There isn't too much to include anyway.

-----

May:
Amberian Dawn - Circus Black (neoclassical power metal, Grade: C+)
Cannibal Corpse - Torture (death metal, Grade: A-)
Reverence - The Asthenic Ascension (industrial black metal, Grade: B)
Saint Vitus - Lillie: F-65 (doom metal, Grade: B+)
Wodensthrone - Curse (Viking/pagan/black metal, Grade: A-)

April Corrections:
None

-----

(A) means I loved this album. An album does not have to be absolutely perfect to get an "A" grade from me, but it does need to really stand out as something special.

(A-) means the album was excellent, and I really enjoyed it. There are just a few flaws which stop me from giving it the top grade.

(B+) means the album was very good. Usually this grade means it was an otherwise fantastic album with one major flaw that I couldn't get past, or it was very strong but lacked the real "it factor" impact of a great album.

(B) means it was a good, solid album.

(B-) means it was a good solid album, but I have a gripe of some kind with it.

(C+) means this was an okay album, nothing worth going out of your way to get.

(C) means the album was mediocre.

(C-) means the album was weak, but not offensively bad.

(D+) means the album was pretty bad, but it had some small redeeming factor.

(D) means the album was bad.

(D-) means the album was really bad.

(F) means the album was absolutely horrible and I hated it. I would play it on a loop to torture my enemies.
