Yes essentially it's the music reviewer's porogative to give their opinion, if they think it deserves 0.0 or 9.0 then they're entitle to say that - as long as they're reviewing the MUSIC, and nothing else. This is why I was so angered by certain reviews not reviewing Primal Scream's Beautiful Future but Bobby Gillespie. In my view, anyone who turns to Pitchfork etc. for musical guidance is nothing short of an idiot, it is subjective opinion afterall, and the legions of hipsters who scorn and feel threatened by Pitchfork are forgetting the first rule of musical elitism: everyone is entitle to your opinion.
