What is even the purpose of a music review in the first place?

One: Give the viewer pause and cause them to think about why it is they do or don’t like the piece of music or art that I’m doing an overview of. Or two: Excite people to give the music that he's talking about a try. If neither of those goals are possible in any scenario that involves reviewing music, then it become unreviewable.
