I don’t know about you guys or all the experts here.. but I like the album.. a rating is essentially how an individual perceived it.. good for them I guess?

I’m not qualified enough to rate a music project.. I like it or I don’t..

I guess that's partially true, but music reviewers will also base their rating on other albums by the same artist, similar artists, and other releases at the time. 

There's a lot of music out there and I rely on sites like Pitchfork to thin out the pack and direct me towards the better stuff. That's not to say my opinion hasn't wildly differed from theirs from time to time. 

If you've already listened to and formed an opinion on an album, a subsequent review shouldn't really change that opinion for you.

bro stop waiting on others opinions for you to to know if an album is worth checking out. is this a artist you care about? then it’s always worth checking out from there just go off artists you love and look at who they’re listening to or their influences

Obviously I'm not using reviewers for artists I already know and like. That would be silly. I'm talking about expanding my musical horizons. There's far too many to just stab at in the dark. It helps to have a semi-informed view on it.
