Discuss a review. Provide constructive feedback. Talk to the industry.

RE: Seriously? That's what you got?

Really?

JV's reviews are full of (presumably) clever metaphors. Unlike the example you provided from Doug Schneider (which I would take as humor), JV takes a different approach. He gives the impression of trying to appear to be the expert. He wrote a medium length paragraph on the zither, only at the end to reveal that he has no idea what he is talking about.

Is this also true for the rest of the review?

Oh. And at the end we find that he has (yet again) designated a "new reference". Yawn.

The current crew has turned TAS into the McDonald's of audio journalism. I would hate for readers to take this as the new norm. People tend to get used to things after a while.

What happened to the old TAS that took days to finish, not a half-hour?
What happened to articles that made you think?
What happened to reviews that left you feeling that you actually had an idea of what the gear sounded like?

I miss the old TAS, and would gladly welcome back that old spirit. Their cause is not helped by people that write nonsense about things of which they know nothing.
