I don't mine hearing both. I mean, that's what a lot of MOJO's feature
articles are about, and I would be sad to see that kind of writing go away.
There are lots of useless reviews out there, but the well-written ones are
indispensable. Otherwise how on earth do you manage to sift through all the
music that's being produced?
Snark I would just like to see go away, which is why I never read Pitchfork.
I'd be interested to see figures on how the lack of new editorial reviews at
Amazon during the last year has affected sales, if at all.
