Just to chime in about the review thing. I now write for Lady Obscure, and when I write a review, even if I looooove the album, I will still mention any possible flaws, even if they don't heavily detract from the overall song/album. Heck, even if I reviewed a DT album and thought it was their best ever, I would still point out any flaws with the mix, songwriting, lyrics, etc.
While there are many reviewers that might go, "Meh. Cool album, I guess. 3/5," or "Omg, best album ever, super heavy, melodic. 5/5," I believe there are many reviewers with integrity that understand how to view an album objectively and without an overwhelming amount of bias.
