Yes I have bought albums based on reviews, and probably been to a fair few gigs as well based on them. For example, I bought the last two Bright Eyes' CDs without hearing any oof his music, a damn good purchase. It depends if you trust a particular reviewer or not.

They can certainly aid sales when combined with songs. If people listen to say, 'Lyla' and think "I like this but I'm, not sure if I should buy the album" a good review can help make that decision. Reviews are normally out there for the floating voters who are in two minds about buying a record.

Not to mention the positive reviews about DBTT remove any doubts about Oasis making Heathen Chemistry part 2.

Sometimes I read reviews of obscure indie releases that I'm hardly able to find to buy, much less hear. So a reviewer can convince me if it's worth hunting down or not.

But mostly, no. I know what I like.

Grom and warriors drive us from hunting ground. We weak. Now we proud tribe again. We stand up to Grom.

But how do you know you will like an album until you buy it? I know what I like but it means I have to buy the album first (or break the law).

There have been cases where I wished I hadn't listened to positive reviews (which accompanies good singles or videos or whatevever), such as Muse's Absolution (which is just too pretentious for words) and Feeder's Comfort in Sound (which is too mediocre for words).

themasterplanet: A Northern Soul by The Verve! My second favourite album by them. I love the atmosphere of it, it’s very dreamy and melancholic and dark. It holds many memories for me and I think that’s partly responsible for why I love it so much. Sept 6, 2024 18:57:34 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Up in the Sky sounds like the La's on steroids, especially that Liam Falsetto that I can almost picture Lee Mavers singing with all his big teeth showing Sept 12, 2024 7:52:29 GMT -5

ennex: G'day folks, Sept 21, 2024 4:51:22 GMT -5

Bring It On Dan: I have so much shit on an old hard drive somewhere but I just cannot find it. Nothing 'out there' but probably 200 gigs or so. I can't remember the name of the site that had all the gigs listed and sources for loads of gigs next to it? I remember RKID 003. Sept 24, 2024 17:34:46 GMT -5

mimmihopps: Bring It On Dan, it must be sadsong.net. I don't know if the site still exists. Sept 25, 2024 7:20:44 GMT -5

PollyWantsACracker: Been off the site for over half a decade, good to see it still going strong after all these years. Good to be frickin back again eh. I thought of the place after hearing today from a friend that Oasis is back in business again. Sept 26, 2024 17:07:27 GMT -5

RUBIKON: I'm gonna restart the Oasis MP3 Archive is anyone's intersted in helping? I ran it in 2000 to 2002 and was a great site. Used to use mIRC to get all the boots. I'll build the site, just need links to one drives and files. PM me if you fancy helping out Sept 29, 2024 8:31:27 GMT -5
