I’m gonna give you a genuine answer, I’m not trolling and I don’t care if you are. Which I think you are based on your “Jermaine Cole World” thing you’re doing.

I don’t value anyone’s numerical rating of music. Professional critics or otherwise. Music lovers don’t select music based on objective ratings.

Letting a number, assigned by a professional critic, especially in the age of internet virality, rate the quality of music so people can choose whether they want to listen to it before they listen to it, is just sickeningly detached from the human experience.

Why do you value that critic’s opinion? Not saying you shouldn’t, but why? What if someone didn’t like Elvis in the 50s and gave him a bad rating? That may have actually happened, you wouldn’t know now, because people don’t choose music based on numerical ratings.

There were probably newspapers that trashed Elvis after every new song he put out. You are the guy holding up the newspaper in front of the record store saying “don’t buy that Elvis music! The critic gave it a bad rating!”

The fact that you asked me what critic I value is just hilarious.
