Are there easy to use review aggregators for music (like Rotten Tomatoes)? I know there's Metacritic, but it can be a little hard to use (for my purposes--it's for a class). Just wondering if anyone uses one . . .

RateYourMusic isn't an aggregator of professional reviews but I find it to be a very good resource nonetheless.

Discogs is probably the best for ratings. It might be my favorite website.

Just a stupid composition class. Most everyone gets motivated by music or film, and so it's a way to get them to combine what they know with something they don't, as well as being able to evaluate the work of others. Only real problem with music is that sometimes we get blinded by our preferences or our emotional attachment (music is such a trigger of the past) to it.
