When trade analysts try to masquerade as music reviewers, this is what happens.
When someone is reviewing and rating a music album, why should mass appeal, picturization, choreography, production banner or actors be the most important parameters?
Qualitative aspects of the songs, such as the overall 'sound', the interludes, orchestration, vocals, lyrics are what a good music reviewer is expected to write about. Is that album or a particular sound track good enough to buy? That's what readers want to know. Rating the overall album with 2 stars, just because the above irrelevant 'commercial parameters' are not met is a shame.
People like Joginder Tutteja are not fit to do that part. Ask him to write paid reviews along with the likes of Taran Adarsh/ Komal Nahta as part of the production house's PR machinery. Let them not write music reviews.
