I was a regular on the forums up until Andrew closed it.
I got introduced to a lot of bands by reading the site and by reading the message boards. Sure, Andrew's reviews are subjective, but that's one of the reasons I liked them. You kind of got a feel of what he thinks of different things in music. You shouldn't look at the ratings to see if an album is good or not. He overrates some things and underrates others. Don't we all do that?
