Real critics will give praise where praise is due and not just give it because it promotes your country's music scene. Idiots.

True. Apparantly the editor also say what albums should get a good review or not before it is even reviewed. They put their mark on a band saying they were the ones who got them where they are (Arctic Monkeys are an example), its a cunning money making plan. Too bad its not selling as much as it used to, probably because its essentially Smash Hits now.
My vote goes for internet.
