Im sorry but who in the hell writes those things!!?!

It's usally some lame synopsis of the album with no real dept and some subjective bullshit.

Most of time it reads like some young music snob judging off a 30 min previews of songs, Then going on wikipedia to reseach the rest. I cant with those wack reviews

All reviews are subjective.

I was gonna say

Darn subjective reviews!

The consumer is the reviewer; if they like an album it sales if they don't like an album it doesn't sale.

Some of the worst (dumb) music reviews are in Entertaiment Weekly.

I know but at least try to be objective.

You can tell they don't even try.

Not the member reviews but the official ones right above the track listings.

Not always true.

Their are some really good ablums that don't sell and some horrible albums that sell like hotcakes.

Does anyone really buy albums based on reviews?

Critics are always full of shit.

I'll repeat the consumer is the reviewer. I never bought an album are didn't buy an album because a "critic" opinion... Nay or Yea.

No.

Your ears and your taste, it's not rocket science,.

^ no but reviews give a insight about the album before you purchase it

I dont know about you but i like to see how others viewed the album and so do millions of other people.

Nah, not necessarily.

We all have our own ways of discovering music that we love

Personally, I don't give a fuck about reviews. I often find myself buying things that I hadn't even heard of before. I've also bought many albums just because I liked the artwork and ended up loving the music. To each their own.
