Additional Critics for Rating Purposes

I think we need a couple more critic based options as a couple below are very active on rating albums and should also be voiced towards this site:

RockSound
Kerrang! It’s a Lie!…Definitely Not a Lie! ¬_¬

I’m not seeing any reviews on Kerrang’s website, but Rock Sound looks like it could be a good addition. Any objections?

Yep, that’s what happens when you don’t look at Kerrang’s site before you post it facepalm

It looks like TheTimes.co.uk has quite a few reviews

I know we try to ensure official sites reviews for each individual albums, but as a reader for Q Magazines, they are very consistent.
Q Magazine has already distributed over 7,000 album reviews through their time and can be evidently collected through this source. http://www.metacritic.com/publication/q-magazine?filter=albums

They have already graded scores from The Vaccines Combat Sports to The Magic Gang’s debut album.

Also, AltWire are pretty good review site based on grade scores! https://www.altwire.net/

Dork Magazine very important

At least they’re contributing to Peace’s new album!

I think we also need more metal critics too. I primarily listen to metal & have added a lot of albums with either no reviews from sites on the dropdown list, or I can only find reviews for them on SputnikMusic every once in a while but even then, it’s usually just reviews from normal users and contributors

Some more metal-focused review sites that I look at include Angry Metal Guy, Metal Injection, Metal Sucks, Blabbermouth, Toilet ov Hell, It Djents, Metal Wani, Distorted Sound, The Prog Mind, New Noise Magazine, and Louder Sound; maybe some of these could be added?
