It seems to me this collective "we" of which you speak have plenty of venues to write about the music from your perspective, including on this here site, which is even gracious enough to compile statistics of each person's contributions, including your dozen or so comments from the past few days, Mr. kungx3.

(Speaking of, hi there; longtime reader, first time contributor. I believe I am now entitled to a trophy of some sort, yes?)

And others have posted similar sentiments about the value of one man's experience versus the quixotic search for some kind of collective, objective experience. I have as much of an appetite as the next guy for, say, Charlie Dirksen's masterful explications of You Enjoy Myself, but it doesn't mean that I can't appreciate an outside-the-box (Dick's in a box!) review of Phish's 1,400-somethingth show. Phish.net seems to be one of the more egalitarian sites out there when it comes to reviews. Hell, Pitchfork doesn't even have comments enabled for its reviews, and some of their best reviews are practically devoid of any mention of what the album under review actually contains, in a traditional sense, anyway.

Of course, I'll steal a Dirksen-ism, just this once, for my first post: two cents.
