@gmercer,
'The reviewers have become a big part of the problem!'
Yes, we're certainly seeing a lot of this impartial pushing from reviewers.
Nauseating sycophantic creeps like Darko have totally renounced any interest in further debate.
They're on the back foot having been exposed as keyboard shills and hence all of this 'let the listener decide' rhetoric that had previously slipped their jaundiced minds.
A small suggestion?
How about a little balance, and a little more honesty?
Let Kelvin from Stereo X review illustrate a good way of keeping it real. Praise and criticism, criticism and praise.
