I´m not much for the idea either. I would much rather see people write their opinions about an album  in their own review. Discussing other people´s reviews in the open forum is fruitless IMO. If you got something to say about a review be it positive or negative just PM the reviewer and let him or her know your feelings. People have done that with some of my reviews and I´ve done it with other people´s reviews as well if I felt a strong need to do that. I think that works just fine. offensive reviews are dealt with elsewhere.

I'd be curious about trying this for one week because sometimes commenting would be nice (if there is a specially great review or if there are minor mistakes).

But of course this would lead to big administration work, so it is actually quite utopic in a way.

Just because it's an opportunity of Web 2.0, it doesn't mean it's good. Shall we join a forum members in social networking, 'friends' and Farmville applications too?

The site will gain absolutely nothing from that. If you read one's review, you probably have your own opinion about it. If you need to voice your opinion, you can do it in the forum.

The review can be good or passable - but I really don't see the point of cramming the 10, 20 or 100 meaningless and shallow one-liner comments under a 400+ words review. I, for one, would hate to see this site going the path Internet Blogs and YouTube went.
Percussion, sir!

And imagine all these spam comments that would appear. Without a chance to eradicate them all, as they will keep going and going.

This reminds me of people complaining that TV has lost its value because there are so many low-quality channels. You don't have to watch those channels, you can turn the TV off. And you don't have to read the comments on the reviews if only the reviews are what interests you. Are you completely unable to enjoy a good Youtube video because some prepubertal dopeheads have commented on it? Why is it that people believe that their lack of added value is a general lack of added value? Why not allow those of us who want a dynamic exchange of views without having to detour into a forum with its own dynamics, to have it, and then just ignore if you don't like it?

And Marty: You know as well as me that a spam problem can be avoided just as easily in a comment field as on any blog with decent software.

Because it would look dreadful and cluttered. 

The layout of this site is one of its many charms, and honestly, I do not want a bunch of folks arguing about whether my one star review of this album or that album was justified, having a bunch of two-bit comments from angry commentators detract from something I might have spent hours crafting.

I find it impressive that people would ask for a site overhaul rather than take upon themselves the very easy task of learning  how to hit "post reply" in the reviews discussion thread.  Ermm
