Whilst I am all in favour of people posting reviews on tMP, I'm not so sure about setting up anything formal. One question would be that of getting the review copies in the first place: 4barsrest get sent copies through for review, partly because they sell cds through the site, but also presumably because of the numbers of people who log on. Whilst we can be justly proud of themouthpiece and our growing numbers, I don't somehow think we're anywhere near their size yet!
Even if there was a team of reviewers established, I don't feel we could ever say we were able to give anything "the tMP seal of approval". Every reviewer can only look at a recording and see how it measures up to their own personal expectations, and then try to put across the review in such a way that the readers can make up their own minds. As I've said before, I have occasionally bought a recording that the reviewer has obviously take a dislike to, because it seemed likely to appeal more to my tastes than it did to him. Also, because I do undertake some reviews for 4barsrest, I would not be able to cover the same items here - just post a link to their review :wink:
I would however encourage tMPers to post a review on here when they get a new recording - help us all to spend our money :shock: :!: :lol:
