I often don't like music reviews for exactly that reason. When theu don't admit their own biases, they can just become disputing opinions instead of the strengths or weaknesses of an album. Obviously, even they are subjective, but it's when you get an opinion resented as fact it annoys me. Pitchfork are especially bad for that. Bias is impossible to avoid, but it helps to identify your own biases, like say Totalbisuit does for his game videos. It's why I like theneedledrop, because he's fair and reasonable about bais. Plus I think it's easier to get a more qualitative review in videos than in text.
