As with most reviews, it is done for money and no other real reason, Much like movie reviews, I don't depend on them for my decisions of taste. One thing I really don't like about most critics, is the trying to find words that are rarely used that they can put in their reviews. I think they feel they get points for the more unusual words they can use, maybe they add up to a pay raise eventually. Everyone likes music for different reasons, whether it be for brings back a distant memory, or creates a dream for you, or has a melody that sets you free, it is your own reason. So it comes down to, they listen to the music to get paid in cash, we get paid in feelings.
