One particular comment found that the critical nature of the article (surely the point of being a 'critic' is to be critical??!) to be too negative. I was frustrated with the anonymous comment 'musicians criticizing one another... not fair!' If I'm not a musician, how can I have any grounds to comment at all on what I'm viewing? I have to know the trade to be able to comment upon it. For example, if I were to critique a restaurant, or art showing, I wouldn't have a clue what I was talking about and my review would be pointless.
An interesting read before viewing Zena's and my review: Peter Slavid on rave reviews
And here's the hotly debated article itself: Pauline Jean Review
