“There's no getting around the fact that these guys are good journalists, and they rightly are proud of that fact. However, one gets the feeling that they feel the pressure that the ever-growing crowd of music critics (i.e. the countless blogs devoted to the subject) and they feel the need to continuously reaffirm their precarious position atop the taste-maker pecking order.
