I'm sick and tired of people saying that. Thus, I counted all my reviews and compiled the following stats:
102 albums reviewed.
Average score: 6.65
Entire "scope":
2 I

3 IIIII
3.5 I
4 II

5 IIIIIIII
5.5 IIIIIIIII
6 IIIIIIIIIIIII
6.5 IIIIIIIIIII
7 IIIIIIIIIIII

8 IIIIIIIIIII

9 IIIIIIII

10 I
Mind you, a few scores aren't included, such as several of the albums that made the TYIM 2007/2008 articles, since I did not review them upon release and didn't really assign them a score when I wrote TYIM. So in reality probably half a dozen more albums should be added to the scores above 8-or-so.
What marc137 said. Would never hear of a lot of bands if you didn't review them (Cynic, BTBAM... too lazy to go on). Besides, an accurate review is a million times better than a biased one, no matter how many people get pissed about it.
That said, I just wish you'd review more often - but then I'm guessing you don't have much control over it, so oh well.
