Eh, I don't mind music critics that much. Some of them are right tossers but as long as you don't take them too seriously, there's no harm done. After all, Christgau is a completely biased elitist douche, but that doesn't mean I don't get amusement from reading anything of his.
If I want to read reviews to get an idea of what album in a discography I should first check out, I usually head for allmusic or RYM... allmusic is really inconsistent at times but can be sufficient for this purpose.
