What is the best Music Review site?
 
I was just wondering if there was a rotten tomatoes style site for Music Albums? Something that compiles average scores or something.

pro critics or consumers? For the latter I think that's Amazon.

I just use Amazon, but allmusic.com compiles user reviews too. I don't know where you can find any kind of averaged pro review.

I don't know your taste, but if you like indie music, I'm partial to pitchfork.com.

It's not an aggregate like RT, but they do a nice job of reviewing. A bonus is that they have a spotify app (if you use it) where you can read the reviews as you listen to the albums.

I've got some Itunes bucks I need to burn. Who should I check out???

I was wondering this too. It's sometimes difficult to compare an artist's albums (by reviews) because some different sites have different albums.

Personally, I find that on Amazon everything is rated around 4 stars or over.

Yeah, I don't find the stars as useful as reading the reviews.

This.

None. There is no good large compendium for music reviews. Pitchfork's reviews make me want to turn into a pile of dust.

Used to be awesome (Circa 2001-2004 era), but I haven't been a member there in awhile.

Haha.

Of course you hate you some Pitchfork, but I still think that it's a legitimate place to get exposed to a bunch of the currently relevant music from various genres.

I like AVClub for music, movies and TV.

Depends on the genre of music.
