Searching reviews
Part suggestion, part invitation to have this idea pulled apart by the Massive... How about a kind of searchable review index?
Sometimes I buy albums months after their initial release and having listened to it a few times it can be interesting to go back to the Word magazine where the album was reviewed and see what the reviewer thought. Only in these days when release dates are frequently moved around, or releases cancelled altogether, it's often difficult to find them and sometimes it might just be that the album wasn't reviewed at all.
So, my suggestion is some kind of searchable list of which albums were reviewed in which issue. I'm not suggesting that some poor sod has to upload all the reviews so that they can be read online (although that would be marvellous) - just the index.
Thoughts?

Not a bad idea, actually
and I'd be happy to do it myself (for a small fee, naturally...)
Good to see
you've taken on board all that "don't work for nothing" advice, Joe.
Q used to
yonks and yonks ago. I found it handy for when I made impulse purchases. I would then learn whether to listen to them or to throw them straight away, depending on the stars.
Metacritic
is good place to see a summary of reviews from all over the place...
