    whats up with some of you needing to hear validation from some music blog in order to like or dislike an album?

    as a rule of thumb, remember this:

    a) Whoever reviews an album, is just a guy like you and me, and that means he can have different taste in music, so what he/ she likes might not be your taste (and the other way around) this is perfectly fine.

    b) When you work reviewing media, you get sent special packages that are more attractive and aim to lure you into giving a positive write up of the piece, to put is simple.. opinion can be bought.

    Now go ahead and make your own mind about things, if you are going to trust a review, trust a review from a person you know and respect, that has no incentive in hyping it up commercially.

    my 2 cents

    • i think most of us were laughing at Pitchfork... this is all fairly obvious when they award Kanye a 10.0horton
    • i do however skim PF daily just to see whats new, hot... knowing full well its just hype.horton
