Praise and criticism are always subjective.  I don't know many people
who read reviews without having their own opinions, too!  Anyone who has
blind "faith" in reviewers without actually listening for himself deserves
to be tricked at least once in a while.  Opinion is not writ in stone.
Taste is not an absolute (except for my own good taste, of course).
