Ok, I retract my first post. It was overly harsh and came across as fanboyish, even though my problem wasn't with the fact that she didn't like the album, I just didn't like that paragraph. Her blog is interesting in the ways which we've already talked about, and it is admirable of her to project her attempt at musical self-improvement so publicly.
So, yes, if for whatever reason she ever reads this board, I apologize.

: I laughed at the genesis reviews with that
: mistake. I think her ignorance and her
: inability to describe most album is part of

:
: 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.

: While it is interesting to see the

: weirdos on music, and it is surprising and
: fun to see that she enjoyed things like
: Rain Dogs and all that, I just don't like
: the way she writes very much. Also, some of
: the lack of research is egregious - I'm not

: Broadway ? C'mon, just glancing at a
: Wikipedia entry would've told you that was

: She gives blood On the track 5 stars and

: voice and his singing, she would probably
: like it better.

: "Considering the 35 albums that I

: dancing the jitterbug. Then I listen to

: Like Eminem called and he wants his act
: back."
