| I'm curious of why someone would ever use a music review. I would much rather just listen to an album/ep/single and decide for myself if I like it or not. Don't need some dude telling me what to listen to. |
| people are pathetic thats why or when they ask for songs or suggestions and you send them a song and they skim through it and listen 3 times for 10 seconds and label it as heard and close it up just another day in how lame people are when it comes to music |
lots of music -  |
| wait, do people use music reviews like that? i enjoy music reviews more like to see what someone elses thought of an album that i liked/disliked and why they thing of it like that.. kinda the idea as when you're discussing music with someone. |

I'm not sure if anyone uses reviews to base what they listen too just throwing the question out there. I do like reviews to see other people's opinions on something but only if that something is something I made. I think terrible reviews on my music is absolutely hilarious. Someone on Discogs once "reviewed" my music with: "200 Files From My Computer Converted Into Sound contains audio in the very loosest sense of the word. The issue I have (and Bong too I think) is that this release was not recorded as audio and based on the samples I have heard is not meant to be listened to (unless you want to give yourself a serious headache). Discogs Fascists may have some merit in being included on the DB because it was recorded as audio and contains some semblance of music (however annoying it may be) but this release has none. Surely there has to come a point where a release is not acceptable here? Are we seriously going to become a dumping ground for sh*te other sites wouldn't accept? This kind of stuff wouldn't be let next nor near Rate Your Music, Allmusic or any other online cataloguing site. It makes a mockery of what constitutes an audio release. If something is not meant to be listened to then it shouldn't be on here. " I almost died laughing |
| I personally like to read reviews on Sputnikmusic every now and then. Usually it is an album I am currently listening through. Why? I enjoy reading about their opinions, what they liked, what they didn't like, their interpretation, etc... theneedledrop is a pretty popular music reviewer on youtube and I'm pretty sure he's influenced a lot of people to check out an artist/album that they haven't heard before. I don't think there's anything wrong with that imo. |

| I don't think I've ever read a music review in my life although that's because I'll listen to anything regardless of what genre it is or what other people think of it. |
| I go on RateYourMusic but I don't often read reviews. I have a couple of contacts who are decent reviewers but most people on there (most people in general, even 'professional' reviewers) don't know how to talk about music. Mostly I just look at overall ratings + the genre tags to see if I'll listen to something. |
| I mainly use music review sites to discover new music over anything else. Pitchfork's website is a staple on my pc. |

| Depending on which reviewer you go to, it can be useful to "filter" the "unnecessary" music and go directly on the substantial, impactful and distinct music from different times. Its also good to obtain different perspectives over something if you're interested on it. For me its more important for classical music, so we can actually go directly on the most important works at many different aspects during the ages. Theres just too much music out there, sometimes its worth to filter it by looking at critics. |
| Nah, I believe in my own critical opinions and tastes. |
 |
| I don't use music reviews, I just listen to music to form an opinion about it I do enjoy watching some music reviewers tho, like theneedledrop, he's k |
| I don't think I've ever done that, nor will I ever. I don't need someone to dictate what is good and what isn't. I'm perfectly capable of making that judgment myself. |
| I've never done that :p. I just listen to the stuff i like. But i enjoy to listen to a review sometimes since it can lead to other songs, which is nice :3. |

Thats one way of seeing it, but music reviews is also a way to enhance your experience and look at different things you could have overlooked. I'm not a fan of Scaruffi but I do like his method is evaluating the whole "Rock Era" as much objective as he can, stressing out what exactly is innovative, groundbreaking and important through the times. In this world led by the Internet, the only way to be dictated by music reviewers is by allowing them yourself, otherwise you're just researching. |
| No. I don't even go out and search for music most of the time. |

| I prefer to just listen and form my own opinion. Reviews only on rare ocasions draw my attention to a band I have not listened to before. |
| Nah, never use them. I mean, why watch a review for something that will only last 4 -5 minutes? |
| Not really. Unlike anime, I can listen to an album relatively quickly, (obviously) and that makes it all that accessible and easier to judge. I do enjoy reading reviews after the fact, though, since I'm interested in other opinions. |
