Reviews are absolutely _useless_ without the reviewer's personal opinions. You can only get objective about music to a certain extent. Reviews are most useful when u know what type of music the reviewer likes and if he likes the same kind of music that you like, then his appraisal of music will suit you best. I have read most of your reviews Jon and I think I have a feeling for how our tastes differ, so I know when to take your opinions to heart and when to ignore your blasphemy ;). I would NOT want to read a classical music reviewer's 'objective' review of any music i listen to...
