I agree. I generally tend to get frustrated with critics in general, but
the ones that I do like are the ones that tend to be more critical of
whatever it is that I am reading about. The whole appeal of a
reviewer/critic is to give the reader/viewer an idea of what a certain piece
of art is about. When I do read something by a critic, it's by a critic who
isn't going to be optimistic and nice about a total piece of shit album that
I'm going to go out and waste $20 on.
