In Reply to: exactly critics statements about recordings ARE therefore, unreliable posted by Timbo in Oz on March 2, 2007 at 11:44:06:
I regard it as self-evident that the opinions of ALL "critics", "experts", etc. are at best viewed as general suggestions, rather than any reliable indicators of what will actually meet the specific requirements for each individual...This stance is often reinforced by any personal experience of items which have received glowing reviews, which have often indicated that those performing the reporting/reviewing function are very likely to have any combination of limited hearing/poor personal taste/poor standards of personal honesty in order to have allowed their confident recommendations to have been placed before the general public...
Re our musical interest, I naturally acknowledge that there is a very wide range of individual taste, perception, and priorities between individuals that is involved, but some of the verdicts given seem to defy belief!...
Tea-break now over...
Hope you are well...
Bill.
