Here's a dead-on observation from a random commenter over at House Is A Feeling blog:
...I personally think the importance of reviews in dance music has waned since the beatport/juno age came onstream. Apart from being useful in alerting me to the existence of a track, I'll always sample a track myself and trust my own ears rather than rely on anything a journalist says, who after all, is just some other dude who likes house/techno. I guess the opinion of a journalist you respected was more important in days gone by. Which isn't to diss dance music journalism, I just prefer reading well conducted interviews or articles that talk about the scene in a general way, rather than reviews of individual tracks.
I could not agree more. It's been a long long time since I read any dance music record reviews. Not that I don't have the time for it... I just don't care about them anymore.

It's always down to the individual understanding of "what's cool" and "what's not". People do have same taste for music though. You cannot just ignore what someone says about certain artist, label, track, etc.
@Peter: "You cannot just ignore what someone says about certain artist, label, track, etc."
Give me just one rational reason why not.
