I declare vendetta on the man who wrote this review. My life shall not be complete until he lies dead at my feet in a pool of blood. This man is worse than Hitler, Stalin, Nero, Maggie Thatcher and a traffic warden combined.

Music critics? Never trust anyone who's paid to write down their opinions. The hip priest is not appreciated!
(wait- who the hell is going to get THAT reference? gah.)

Yeah, that review is kidna chock full of pretentious wankery and Yorke fellatio. Fun.
Gryff:
I like Uncut mag - free CD each month; Stuff on classic albums and movies; Lots of good reviews of music and movies, which aren't afraid to give out five stars (hello Rolling Stone, you pussies). Only problem with it would be that it's very much stuck in the past, but hey, I like reading about that stuff. New bands and such I usually read about online before I see them in any magazine anyway.
Bastardous Bassist:
The thing with music critics is that they don't need to have any knowledge to sit down and write about what something sounds like. As a result, most of them have a less-than-refined ear, and end up liking mostly really simplistic stuff. Anything that is the least bit harmonically adventurous is anathema to them, because it sounds different, unfamiliar and uncomfortable. Either that, or everything that sounds different, unfamaliar and uncomfortable is automatically the greatest thing ever, because their ear is not refined enough to be able to tell the difference between sucking and genuine creativity.
I read Bass Player upon occasion (I have three issues, one about Charles Mingus, another about Ron Carter and the third about Dave Holland). I should start looking at Upright Bassist, but when I first checked it out, everything was so above my level as a musician that I got nothing out of it.
