I found some ratings...

This is another rant of mine. :D
Basically, I find music rating by critics very flawed, and very biased.
Really, how do you just believe what a critic says? He has a very possible chance of being biased, or disliking of the genre already. User reviews are often more favorable, in my opinion, I'd rather have the common person who listens to similar music rate it, there may be a slight bias, but it's not their job, so they have no reason other than to provide information upon listening to the record.
The point is, I wouldn't suggest you pay attention to critic's ratings on music, on most movies, yes, but not music at all.
Something I may find good is something you may find bad, and if you are a critic, that puts you at a bias. Find someone who listens to similar music so the bias is at least worthy of listening to, not negative, not positive, just for the genre.
