I disagree with @phomchick on the assessment of all rock music being of inferior fidelity.
Most reviewers receive their music free of charge, don’t they? At least MF does. For the reviewers that do receive music free of charge, this is an aspect of reviewing that takes their own personal pain (pocket book) out of the equation to the ultimate detriment of any reviewed music that any typical owner deals with. ( I’m referring to vinyl and all of it’s idiosynchricities: IE: off-center pressing, dished, warped, washboard vinyl that we are still willing to pay $50.00 for)
