I laughed at the genesis reviews with that mistake. I think her ignorance and her inability to describe most album is part of the charm
I don't think anyone can learn anything about the album reading her reviews.
Which makes her a bad reviewer. However I think there's a bit of so bad it's good element to her reviews. It helps that there is a innocent naivety about the reviews.
However, I just admire the general concept of the review rather than anything she actually written. That someone with her musical background is willing to go through with this and listen to such a diverse range of music that is completely different to what she is used to and give it a fair chance. I think that's something to be admired considering that most "normal" people would baulk at this assignment
None of her individual reviews are interesting but the fact that she is willing to do the reviews is interesting.
Her 0 star review of The Dreaming by Kate Bush (which is in my top 10 album) is funny.
