How credible are those Amazon user reviews?
I've been reading the How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb reviews and I've noticed some things:
1. Many of the reviews aren't reviews! They’re opinionated rants of what the individual thinks of U2, but devoid of information about the album they're supposedly reviewing.
2. Most of them don’t explain why they dislike like the album. Though a 5 star rating with no explanation isn’t anymore helpful.
3. Some who gave How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb only one star gave all the other albums they reviewed 5 stars. That seemed extremely unbalanced.
4. Some even when as far to write negative reviews for every thing U2 has released recently. I.e. the Vertigo, Sometimes You Can’t Make It On Your Own and All Because of You singles.
Do people have nothing better to do than defame U2? If people want to discuss their opinions or lament about U2 then it should be done on a forum like this. When I read a music CD review I expect to it be relevant and critical of the material on that CD. I don't care what U2 did at the Superbowl in 2001 or what Bono is doing for Aids Relief in Africa. I want to know about the content of the album, nothing else.
