Fairly self-explanatory, isn't it? Just curious as to what you lot think of us. Feedback and constructive criticism welcome, as long as it's positive, ho ho ho.

I seem to share Alex' tastes the most, so he's the one whose reviews I read most - well, the ones of albums or bands I've not discovered yet.

Who would be the best reviewer in theory - ie. stylistically, vocabularily,... I do not know.

You Zad. Because you review a lot of extreme metal that i like and that this site rarely speaks about.

Crims for similar taste, Zad for good writing and Misha for his to-the-point reviewing style.

It's a tie up between Zad or James. Without them, this would be Power Metal Reviews.com.

Zad. No apparent biases with diverse tastes and is willing and quick to review what is requested.

Zad, I guess. Been buying quite a few albums based on your reviews. I like Dylan too.

Definitely the boombox.

reviews are well written, and everything he reviews and gives a good score to I tend to like as well.

Zad mostly reviews what I'm interested in but I still catch the odd review here and there by another reviewer that I definitely approve of. I can't say I've really disagreed with most reviews here too much outside of a few.

IMO Adam is the best reviewer on this site, too bad he isnt as active anymore, Mike also writes some damn good reviews.

Im not surprised Zad is the most popular reviewer, he does writes the majority of the reviews around here, unfortunately im not atracted to 90% of the music that he writes about.

I think Zad just made this thread to fellate his ego.

Ha! Nice try. I wasn't expecting any positives directed my way after GIFgate, thanks to all who selected me as their favourite. This thread was more about the feedback than the 'YES! I got more votes than Al' factor, believe me if you will.

Please refer to the review Danny wrote for Aborym's Fire Walk With Us, and promptly stay your fingers from typing such silliness.

Nobody recently... it's not that reviews aren't well written, I just don't like the music and disagree with the reviewer.

From a technical standpoint, Marty is the most knolewdgeable by far. But if I take under consideration all aspects (writing style, technical knowledge, passion and similarity in tastes/review relevance), Alex wins easily.

Thanks man! I'm still around, just not as much lately, which I am sorry about. I'll have something for Monday though, and I haven't forgotten about Pagan Altar either. I can guarantee you will see that at some point this month. In fact, I've already started working on it, just some tweaking to be done is all.
