Praeserpium Machinarum:
Though danish reviewers are not generally abrasive, this review is at least a bit sour Broken Social Scene - You Forgot it in People
Since it's in danish, I will translate the last bit, before that he has been complaining about the terrible production and sound quality.
Just because a flock of postrock-people decide to drop the 20 minutes long and epic songs to make pop music, it doesn't have to be revolutionary.
There is not a lot of fresh thinking to be found. In spite of that, one american reviewer after the other wails about how this cd is
"like no other pop album you've ever heard."
How long have they pray tell had their heads(and the including ears) up their arses?
Ouch.

That is in fact the best record review ever.

Summed up my take on the album pretty much perfectly.

--- Quote from: Hector Gilbert ---When a professional review does not give a recommendation to the reader (for that album if they liked it, for another album or band/artist exploring a similar field if they didn't), the writer is at fault. Reviews are supposed to be helpful, and when people who are paid to write them come up with either intentionally comic self-indulgence, pure negativity or both it is to me at least infuriating. Some of the negative reviews from NME in particular come across to me as just someone giving a "nobody should like this band anyway" kind of gesture - has anyone ever seen the quick and snappy 4/10 for Einstürzende Neubauten's Silence Is Sexy?
That said, the Pitchfork review of St. Anger was quite funny.

Your not a writer are you? Reviewing ANYTHING is an art. A short and scathing review can be every bit as informative as 500 words of eloquence. Simplicity is often important to making the point, so adding on a load of crap at the end about other bands you might like instead is counterproductive.
Ultimately, all art is self-indulgence. If you dont like it, read something else.
