MJ is a fangirl. Darn. I wanted to bring over the Newsday review, but I was busy today. It's my home paper. I was a little bit concerned because Glenn Gamboa, the main critic, was lukewarm on Archie throughout the season and for the L.I. concert, but he has surprisingly given the duties to someone else this week ( so that's a relief) who gave Tinsley an A grade (wow) Two more mainstream papers came up L.A. Times: a little ouch (1 1/2) http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/music_blog/2008/11/album-review-da.html and Sacramento Bee: not bad, middling http://www.sacbee.com/122/story/1383337.html I finally listened to the stream a couple of hours ago. It's sweet. I'm a lyrics girl so I can't say it's for me ultimately, but I do like Archie and will download the album for my 10 year old niece. Yep. MJ is a fangirl.

I agree with a lot of what he says, especially the part about the album being a pop-fest for teens and pre-teens. That is the type of album David should be making right now and obviously how he is being marketed...teen pop. All the teens are going to love him. That was a pretty good review from Ken Barnes.

So, Billboard, Rolling Stone, EW, LA Times, NY Times, Boston Globe, Chicago Sun-Times, Variety, etc. Those are the ones I imagine other writers quote, and those are the ones people source when they are doing research. Someone added allmusic.com to that yesterday but I don't know how true that is. He's not doing to badly among those sources - kind of a mixed bag. Billboard gave a great review, the Boston Globe and NY Times gave good ones, EW trashed it (but not HIM so much). I think he's doing okay on the review front. <blockquote>Anybody know how many now have a platinum-selling single or album? Eight or nine, maybe? Not too shabby, given how rare platinum sellers are these days.</blockquote> Yeah Idol is one of the few things launching new top selling acts these days, that's why expectations are so high. A huge chunk of new top sellers came from TV shows (Danity Kane, etc). Amazing, and kinda scary at the same time. I would imagine the reviews that “matter” would be in the larger mainstream papers, major music magazines or in established trade publications.
