Metal Reviews :: View topic - changes in the quotings!

Have started to see a big change in the quotes of albums the latest month. More and more albums are given rates of 90+ and better even if the albums not often stands for anything special or groundbreaking. It is many album that I have seen recently, that has been given 90 or higher,that more likely should deserve a lower score. For me,its really hard to know what really stands out from the rest.what do you score such an album then???105??110??
give me your opinions about the quoting....

(sorry for my english)

(sorry for my english) _________________ Just don't pay attention to the quotes, they're useless anyways. If you want to know what an album is like, just read the review, and see if you're interested. It's a matter of taste anyways, so if you really don't want to read the review, the genre probably helps more.

(sorry for my english) _________________ Well, a lot of people are saying this lately, and I really don't see what the big deal is. If a reviewer rates something in the 90's, that's because they *PERSONALLY* feel that the album is one of the year's best. Whoever said it had to be groundbreaking? If you really want the general consensus, take the reviewer's score as just another opinion along with everyone else's. This shit with everybody trashing reviews because the score is too high is pretty stupid if you ask me. It's all opinion, you think the score is too high, while the reviewer feels the score is dead on. Why is that all of a sudden such a big deal?

Not that it matters, however. Not to mention Manticora and Bal-Sagoth. I have not listened to Sabatons latest yet, but I agree with all the other mentioned albums, even if it differs a little bit, but still up there in the 90s. So, actually, many albums that have gotten ""overrated"" these last months have probably deserved it. Although I think some Power metal is overrated in general cough, Dragonland cough*
