Matt, Aren't you taking things just a bit too personally now? Including the music? You are entitled to dislike a release but what people say about it are just different reflections. By calling a release BAD in the context you have made, you are subjecting the ultimate personal judgement and imposing that on others by claiming your taste is better than others. Why are you concerned that people buy music that you rate as BAD? The music is a subjective experience - there's no standard criteria in which to judge a release as good or bad. I appreciate your call for a more stringent approach to reviewing music but I disagree with your value judgement on some on the releases you have listed. What I want to know is - did you buy all these releases that you rate as BAD? And if you did then why did you buy them in the first place? and also with your perception of *radio types* - I don't know any of the producers I play, I receive no promos and I have to pay for everything I play. And BTW, I know of some people who consider Black Dog as pretty average music.
