Song reviews have long been around to help people see ahead of time what they are getting into in regards to hearing certain songs they want to listen to. Reviewing is not easy and it takes sharpness, some crudeness and blunt honesty. Crudeness should not be accepted, but if often is especially if the critic does not like the song. Country western has a certain appeal to some people. You could listen online to videos in this genre and decide for yourself what you think. Reading reviews will help you decide whether or not to listen, but you should also decide for yourself. Listening to music and watching videos is an excellent escape from the daily grind of life in regards to working or going to school. Country, pop rock, hip hop, rap, and heavy metal are just a few of the genres out there. There are many more. Critics rate the performances in these genres based on many factors. Each critic is different just like every person is different. You could spend hours chasing these critics around to see what they think instead of just evaluating the song yourself. Reviewing a piece of music is important because it reveals what is good and bad about it. It helps a listener decide if they want to listen to it. It helps them think of things to watch before they listen to it. The only disadvantage to this is that they may taint your view of it before you even listen to it. If your view of the piece of music is discriminated because of what you heard a critic say then that is your choice. You may be so busy with life that this is what you want to do. That makes sense as it saves you time. If you are looking for a non-judgmental approach, however, and have the time, do not read critiques first. Just listen to it yourself on your own when you can. Many websites are online that have critiques. Search for them on a reliable search engine. Look up the artist and see what you can find in the way of critiquing. Try to still stay objective even when you read these because some critics are really biased and not fair to the artist. Stay wise with what you believe. Take what you read with a grain of salt. It really is best to critique the work on your own without others views in your mind ahead of time. If you have someone's viewpoint in your mind while you listen, it may be harder to enjoy the piece of music. This can result in your liking the music more than you would have had you not read the critique ahead of time. It is really helpful to read song reviews, but make sure you understand that that they have their objective of getting paid to write them and may not have an objective view of the artist. This presents an unfair disadvantage to the artist so if you want honesty, try to listen to the music yourself and form your own judgments.
