I think it's unfair to lump them all together. In my experience there are 3 types of reviews.
1. Reviews that give you a general idea what to expect without being overly detailed. 2. Reviews written for fans of a band where comparisons are usually made to the artists back catalogue and are usually very thorough written by someone who's extremely knowledgeable. 3. Self publicising bullshit where the reviewer just wants to show off he went to university. I don't mind people doing No 3. Just keep it on a fucking blog nobody wants to read & don't pretend it's objective journalism.

...back to metal machine music, did lester bangs mention that it was a lot of white noise and junk? If so he didn't pull the wool over anyones eyes.
If someone described coprophagia as the greatest thing in the world,people still know what eating **** entails...and if they take advice to eat it it's their own fault.There shouldn't have to be a "subjective opinion" disclaimer. |

That's kinda like looking for someone to willingly stab you in the ear with a steel dildo.

...it's fascinating...it's not any worse than bagpipes, and I like bagpipes on occasion.I'm sure lester bangs was just amazed by how atrocious it sounded.
It takes genuine talent to make something that ugly. Do you listen to any whitehouse? |
