I never got what was so good about them. I have Celtic Poetry downloaded and it sounds like total shit.

It got rave reviews at M-A... They're kinda like a good representation of the common metal head as anyone can write reviews over there. I think it got like 4-5 %100's & one %20. |

Don't use M-A reviews as a measure of good taste among metalheads. |

Yeah, don't. They have fucking retarded standards as to what gets accepted for reviews. If I ran a site with reviews by users accepted, I would not accept anything which contained this sentence:
It's good but that's the point: being just good isn't good enough to make a band...good.
Fucking retarded. How the hell do you rationalize negating an axiom like that?!

And way too often there are reviewers who in their reviews point out flaws and make criticisms, then just cast all these aside and rate the album 100%.

Oh no, I fucking agree with you guys. I'm not saying it's the standard, just a fair place to look... Well... Maybe not. I have read a lot of BS over there. Like I've seen reviews where someone rated something 100% then just went on to talk about nothing but problems with that album & at the end of the review they say that the good points more than make up for it   If an album is 100% it has no flaws & leaves nothing to be desired.
Yeh, I agree with you guys, but you have to admit that 5/6 100%'s is very impressive. |

...which is especially retarded considering that they rejected two reviews of mine that were about 80-85%, claiming I was too critical to be rating them that high. Fuck that. |

I wonder what percentage of the reviews there are 100%s. 10? 20?
Then there are the obviously bad reviews done by people who have no understanding of the genre.
