Surely a review should have the ability to say Good or Bad? Or else it's not a review at all. It's a sham.

It's nothing to do with feelings of humanity. But if it was, I think it's far more humane to put a dog down if it's in terrible old shape. There's a lot of music out there which is in terrible old shape. These people sometimes need to be told they're terrible or they'll end up on Britain's Got Talent, having been mollycoddled and lied to all their lives and end up looking like complete eejits live on TV as they have no actual gift for music that lifts them above merely average - and that's if they're lucky.
