site aggregators - a couple of queries

I've a question for those good folk at Any Decent Music What happens if you want to source a site or magazine that doesn't actually give a star rating? Or have they immediately renounced all claims on critical authority because they've refused to reduce a highly subjective form of commentary to a numeral?

And do you think it's entirely  accurate to claim that The Sunday Times (for example) gave Joanna Newsom's a mark of 10 when it was, in fact, one writer.

What a weird way to judge music.

  1. Which came first: the reliance on the numeric scoring system or the aggregation site?
