Seems like a great place to find every album with strings on any song categorized as “avant-chamber-pop” or whatever, and for people doing bad imitations of what they think music reviews should sound like.

It's like imdb for music. Useful, because it is extensive and has a high amount of interactivity. But due to its popularity/mass-appeal, it is also a host for some of the more assinine developments on the net. The observation about the reviews is astute. Loads of cynical non-reviews too that say nothing about the music itself and just serve to stroke some doucherino's ego.
However, the personalized lists-option is quite nice. And you have a great overview on the many projects of individual musicians. And that goes for pretty much any genre. I'd lie if I said I didn't find some great gems on there.
