just for starters i'm not defending rage and i don't work for them....but i used to review cds for jhb live and the way it works it that you get cds from record companies,so you don't really get to source out the cds you choose to review...they come to you, so you can't spend your own money buying cds so that you can review them..
Maria and them are doing an good job ,and you find that you get a lot of the not so popular stuff and often whack cds 'cause the record companies are tryin to get them out there..
as for them being objective...hell yeah...they're proffesionals and being objective goes with the job...
just keep an open mind and besides ...reviewing cds is not exactly the greatest job in the world ...it hard to find the words when all you wanna say is, this cd is whack :!:
