A few words about reviews.
Many reviews are paid for. I know it's hard to believe, but it's true.
A label advertises in the issue with the review, and the review will be really good.
What a shocker.
I don't do this, because I don't have the money.
If I ever have the money to do so, I hope I don't do it, it's hinky.

Secondly, I've posted the whole web page where the review appeared.
Sometimes people will quote the good part, and then leave out any criticism.

Lastly, there are many periodicals and websites that will never throw a free review to a little guy.
Never getting a review on allmusic.com, for example, means what?
It means everybody who goes there is unaware of your existence.
Thanks everybody at allmusic.com.
