so... you guys actually read them and after that consider the purchase of a certain album? huh.. i read reviews very seldom. i do not want to have any sort of a mental picture given to me by some review. there are a very few bands i have found trhough reading reviews (finnish band super is one of them). can a bad review actually prevent you from buying an album? ok, so finding new artists can be tough if one does not follow reviews. i find mine via friends mentioning, my fav artists giving props to some others etc. not by some faceless reviews :( maybe thats why i am so late in all new releases (ganz graf? huh? when did that come out?) and randomness in music purchasing often leads to a nice broadening of musical tastes. hell, i wouldn't have found detroit techno sound without accidently buying sub-urban knight vinyl... so.. why you read reviews? do you really get something out of them? neetta no understand. |

i like reading reviews - not to let it change my opinion but to know how other people think about it and yes, before-hand |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, I do it the other way, I buy something, I listen to it, and then I read some review to compare with my impressions... |
||||||||
|
|

i dont trust reviews of most idm. i remember looking online for drukqs reviews and loads of people saying stuff like oh its all been done before, piano pieces are john cage clones and it is uninspiring... but i felt that it is a brilliant composition of many different styles and speeds of music. i really liked it, but most reviews said it was only so-so. if you know the reviewer, then you can look at the review objectivly, otherwise rely on people you know who have heard the album. |

I read reviews so I can regurtitate the observations of people smarter than I. and without having to buy the albums. |

Repitiveness is a problem in most reviews. This is how most electronic music review look now a days. "blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, blah blah, blah laptop, blah blah blah Aphex Twin, blah blah blah MAX/MSP, blah blah blah blah organic blah blah, micro blah blah website, blah blah blah electronica, blah blah blah BOC blah remix, blah blah mind-twisting blah blah blah blah original hamster, blah blah blah tigerbeat6." |

i read reviews to see what kind of stuff is it, if it sounds good i check it out and then if i like it i buy it i like the reviews where certain artist is compared with another, it just make it easier to get an impression... |

you looked wrecked! I read reviews in a magazine called sidewalk, they just review electronic music, weird hip hop and death metal. I got some really good recommendations from them. |

Drukqs is a revolution but many of "revievers" say: "oh no! aphex stopped his evolution, he's still good but not as sometime..." Bullshit! Aphex is one of very few artists still going forward. And if you think different then give mi the title of one track better than Vordhosbn or melphace5 or 168bmprmx...of course if you are knowleged about this kind of music... |

pitchfork used to give great reviews but now i can't trust them anymore. as soon as the band has been hyped by them they decide to give their second effort a dreadful review whatever the album's merits are. =sigur rós=björk=múm |

||||||||
|
|

|
|
hmm, wasnt that elle a du shell? :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
can be that too, i wasn't stating my absolute air knowledge here. but ANYWAY it is not moon safari :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehe, but moon safari is definitely their best imo :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|

|||||||||
| |||||||||

fuck reviews what makes a reviewer credible? what makes them knowledgeable? what gives them taste? you are your best reviewer. It's a fucking joke that these guys have jobs. it's all opinion. everyones opinion varies and is different. That's what makes individuals unique. I read pitchfork talking down drukqs.... and what makes that guy knowledgeable? If he had the slightest fucking clue maybe he'd be making his own music. yeah mofo! |

i read before buying to have a slight impression (but i don't 100% rely on them, i listen to sound samples or mp3s before buying too...), and then after to see what other people think of it. i often think that albums having five stars out of five in professional reviews are overrated (four, or four and a half i prefer) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i actually dont bother with stars i only read reviews to get an impression what kind of music is it |
