This site has been around for ages apparently but I just happened across it.
Some bloke tears apart music reviews, and thankfully hasn't got around to me yet.

When I saw some comments under my review of 'Atrocitiy Exhibition' along the lines of 'Your reviewer is wrong' and 'Your reviewer didn't get this record', I instantly felt under attack. I wanted to lash out at the critics, while simultaneously feeling that they were probably right and I had been publicly wrong.
I'd been (more or less) happy to strongly criticise Danny Brown's album, over which he has possibly slaved, but flinching in the face of even the mildest criticism of my relatively hastily assembled review. I would think this is how most critics are - equal parts arrogance and insecurity.
Anyway, if you get past this guy's uppity arsehole attitude he has some interesting things to say about music reviews, and I'm going to try and take some of what he says onboard.
