Whats more important than his rating is his reasoning for that rating.

Whether or not he gave an A or an F, why he did it matters most. There are people who would give it an "F" and no opinion, and when I accuse them of being cred-hungry jerk offs, everyone says their entitled to their opinion.

The thing is, this review says "these are the criteria, and this was how it was met" and by doing this, he doesn't pretend he's cosmic authority on everything.

Far too many people will slag this album to go with the flow. There will be a backlash, but few will say why they went in any direction.
