Aryeh is scared, and he should be. People are finally realizing that he doesn't know what the heck he is talking about. Look at Yitzy Spinner's CD for the most recent example. Before he even heard the album he trashed it. Then he didn't even BUY it, he borrowed it, listened once and proceeded to step on it, rip its heart out and stab it to death. Aryeh, what is wrong with you? What kind of a person are you? This isn't about attacking you, this is about forcing you to realize that what you are doing is wrong! When will you finally give into your shame?! You have the chutzpah not even pay for an album while at the same time attempting to destroy someones parnasa for your own personal issues.
Now if this was truly a bad album then I'd have no leg to stand on, but at least three other usually hyper critical Jewish music bloggers all liked to loved that CD. What does that tell you? When bloggers who are usually very critical love a CD and you not only dislike it, but rip it to shreds, well, it shows one simple thing. You have a personal agenda with certain artists. In fact I think you have a personal agenda against most artists.
I don't want your olive branches, I want you to do the right thing. Stop allowing your personal feelings to bias your reviews. It's one thing to pretend Country Yossi reviews are real, we all know they are BS, but your reviews are the same kind of evil. Whereas one writes because of cash, you review from a place of jealously and resentment.
Aryeh Steiner, do not assume you know who is behind this blog. You will be shocked to find out that we are not one person. The people behind this blog are a rather large group of people. We are a mix of industry people and your fellow bloggers. People who all agree that you have crossed the line and we have to stand up and fight back. There are almost ten people involved in this blog.
You are on notice, your personal attacks via nasty reviews must come to a close. No one has problems with honest or fair reviews, but yours are neither. We already know that our numbers are higher then yours. We can see your stats, we are getting a lot of hits from people googling your name and googling Jewish music reviews.
Your reviews are tainted, biased and full of motzei sheim ra. When you are ready to stop using the internet to seek revenge on an industry you seem to have a lot of venom towards, only then will we be able to accept your olive branch.
I wish, in the spirit of Chanukah, that you choose to do the right thing. Realize the error of your ways and stop trying to destroy peoples careers. You might feel better after you trash soeones album when it isn't really bad, but you'll feel even better if you do the right thing. Write honest reviews and people might start respecting you again. Until then, you can keep expecting us to write these posts and take you to task for every nasty mean spirited "review" you publish!
PS - We did comment on your site at first, you deleted our comments! You can not handle the truth and therefore you moderated or deleted it. We tried on several attempts to discuss this with you head on but you hid behind your comment moderation. We will not discuss this with you any further on YOUR terms, that ship has sailed, now we will discuss this on OUR terms. What we feel and what we think you should do has very clearly been laid out here. It's up to you now to choose what to do with these criticisms.

Are you out of your mind? All he does is calmly and clearly write what he feels about the albums. Maybe he's biased. His record will speak for itself. He wasn't high on Gertner and I liked it. So now I know that i like some things that he doesn't. Ranting like a paranoid schizophrenic on speed is not going to get people to stop reading his blog. Especially since, as you point out, nobody reads it already. So take a chill, and write your own reviews.
p.s. If you refuse to post this comment, you needn't worry. I won't start a blog bashing you.
