Please don't take this the wrong way, but have you ever written a bad review? It's kind of boring when a reviewer just likes everything.

Nice write up, sir. I had no idea this was even out. I'll definitely have to pick it up!
CATSNYrevival, what is your problem? If the guy likes something he likes it. A critic's job is to report their opinion, not what you want to hear.

CATSNYrevival, I don't take it the wrong way. And, yes, I have written bad reviews. I have also written fair to negative reviews and lukewarm reviews.

As a writer, I am still growing and maturing, so I appreciate any fair and honest feedback you (or anyone) ever wishes to share with me.

^And to be fair, I haven't read all of them, but the last few have been very positive and I was just curious. I actually like the majority of cast albums that I listen to as well, but there's always the occasional turkey.

I fall in the same boat. There are a few turkeys, but I haven't come across one yet. I really just began writing CD reviews for BroadwayWorld pretty recently.

I've been covering the Houston theatre scene for a over a year now though. A recent fairly negative review I wrote can be found here:

So, they're out there. I'm not a Pollyanna. I do not like everything.
