Do you guys go and read reviews before buying an album?
I have never done that.

what websites have you guys found that give pretty good reviews of albums, contain a large database, and have solid writers that you agree with for the most part? Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks. |

There's only 1 reviews site that I really like but it's in portuguese so I guess that doesn't help you... http://www.allmusic.com has some nice reviews although I don't agree with many things there, I still think it's a great site with a enormous database and information. |

i'm gonna have to agree with allmusic, not only do they have reviews but biographys and similar artists, recommendations, essentials, etc |

i have to continue the trend and go with allmusic. if i want a quick look at any artist that is where i go. besides that i don't know what to recommend. if i'm desperate for another opinion i'll sometimes check rollingstone.com. |

I have never done that. No, but occasionally a review can make me buy an album. Or download one. |

I have never done that. never!? thats amazing. if i'm anticipating an album i want to read as much as i can about it so i like to see early reviews (case in point the new u2, which is being highly praised) |

Huh. Maybe I should have been doing this. Although, I'm not really one to care what other peple are saying about an album, I'll just judge from hearing it myself. But then I have to buy it first to see if it's good...

allmusic & nudeasthenews.com - really cool website. jonathan cohen (of billboard) even goes into great detail about his obsessive love for PJ in one essay. |
