That's a good idea, for instance I often like movies that critics hate and vice versa, and with some Metal magazines that I read, I learn which reviewers seem to have similar taste to mine, but I like descriptive or comparative reviews, not those which are "this album is good" or "this album is bad"

yea, reviews like that are helpful... though I don't bother to search them out
a lot easier to just listen for myself :p

I know some others who like you prefer the older stuff and that's cool, for me I feel that their song writing and overall compositions have really matured into fantastic music, though I do like their older stuff also, I just prefer the newer stuff over the old.

hmm I think the newer stuff is to "static" I like "dynamic" stuff...

I tend to first read to find out what sub-genre the band/album is, then if it's one I like I then read to find out if the band is compared to any other bands. If they are compared to or influenced by stuff I really like then I'll look into them further, but if it's the opposite, compared to something I dislike, I stop there.

yea, I'll maybe look into subgenres... but mostly just to know roughly what to expect
since usually I like most all kinds of metal :p
