I think people are more likely praise the bands they do like and criticize (in a negative way) the bands the don't like. And sometimes give a
plus & minus account of a band. I think they are more prone to do that if they are not invested as a fan of the band or the band has an inconsistent output. It seems it would hard to able to stick to the critique (if what you mean by that is to explain the good and band points equally). I think someone sets out to do that, there will still be a tendency for them to be bias in some way. I think it is inevitable because they already know how they feel about it, so they find arguments to support what they think of it either way.
I can understand what you mean "constantly criticizing" a band. I am usually on the short of the stick when it comes to that. What I notice is that there is almost a group mentality on whether a band should be accepted or rejected. And it always seem that I am on the wrong side. I notice that I love to find a band that no one criticize. For me they are in a safe zone away from the music critic and negative criticism. And I can enjoy the music for what it is, not what it fails to be for those who don't get it.
